Imagine a place where experienced professors, cutting edge facilities and a rich tradition of educating the “whole” person come together for the world's good...
The College of Communication and Fine Arts (CFA) caters to students from diverse backgrounds who want to use their talents to make a lasting impact on the world around them. Our programs in theatre, communication studies, music, dance, studio art, art history, and marital and family therapy (clinical art therapy) nurture and challenge students to realize their full potential and enjoy lives of meaning and purpose. CFA’s cutting edge facilities, such as the Laband Art Gallery, give students an impressive environment for showcasing their creative work. And our exceptional faculty is committed to providing an education grounded in a rich Jesuit and Marymount philosophy that’s more relevant than ever in the 21st century.
CFA is ideally located in Los Angeles, the second-largest media market in the country which is home to 61 museums and more than 1,000 performing arts venues - more than any other U.S. metropolitan area. The entertainment and media industries fuel Los Angeles’ creative spirit, which provides abundant opportunities for student learning and careers in the performing arts, public relations, studio arts, politics and media. Situated on an extraordinary campus overlooking the city and the Pacific Ocean, we welcome remarkable people into a close-knit community that inspires their best thinking and prepares them for lives distinguished by creative and compassionate responses to a complex and needy world.
