Cornish Meets Seattle University

Twice the Possibilities Create One Extraordinary Education

An exciting new chapter is here as Seattle University announces the establishment of Cornish College of the Arts at Seattle University— a bold fine arts institution where academic excellence meets world-class creativity. This groundbreaking endeavor opens the door to a new kind of education— one where a future business leader might learn storytelling from the finest minds in visual arts, and an artist gains the historical insight and polished intellect to command both stage and society with powerful, purpose-driven performance.

By merging Cornish College of the Arts’ renowned fine arts curriculum with Seattle University’s strong comprehensive university, students are offered a transformative experience that allows them to explore a wide spectrum of disciplines. They’ll engage with a curriculum that not only blends theory and practice in dynamic, real-world ways, but also expands their horizons through cross-disciplinary opportunities, enriched electives, international study and access to a vibrant community of expert faculty.
