The College of Entertainment and the Arts is a Christ-centered, innovative, entrepreneurial arts community committed to rigorous artistic training, creative collaboration and professional growth.

Here you can train with outstanding faculty and distinguished industry professionals known as Artists
in Residence. You can learn in state of the art facilities, connect to a vast network of professional artists, collaborate with students from various artistic disciplines, cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit that will fuel a sustainable career and, most importantly, perfect your art while strengthening your faith.

It is a place you can work on major motion pictures with professional production companies, train with Dove and Grammy Award winning musicians, learn animation from a Disney animator, work with Broadway professionals on major theatrical productions, curate art shows at our Open Gallery in downtown Nashville, develop the next big video game or mobile app, design for theatre, fashion runway shows, concerts, film and theme park attractions, and explore art from all over the world as a part of our global learning experience.

We offer more than one dozen undergraduate degrees and concentrations that will allow you to also combine your passion for arts and entertainment with other fields of study.

The college’s graduate program in Film and Creative media offers three unique degrees designed to educate the next generation of artists to be independent, entrepreneurial filmmakers who graduate ready to create uplifting content for the digital entertainment marketplace.
