At the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts, we continue to celebrate a huge milestone--more than 100 years as a college at the University of Oklahoma! Established in 1924, it was the fourth college founded at the university. The college was renamed the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts in 2004 in honor of the Weitzenhoffer family, who have provided extraordinary support for the college.
We invite you to join us as we combine our considerable artistic forces to bring you fresh, exhilarating adventures in theatre, opera, drama, and dance. We are eager to share the sweeping artistry of the theatre in all its humanity, fantasy, glory, tragedy, and emotion.
The Arts Management and Entrepreneurship (AME) Program is designed for students interested in building a career in the arts in an exciting but ever-changing marketplace. The program is built on a flexible structure of fine arts, arts entrepreneurship, and business courses that develop the skills needed for career success and creative impact.
