VCUarts Faculty Positions
For the 2019-2020
Academic Year
VCUarts
(https://arts.vcu.edu/) in Richmond, Virginia offers a variety of graduate and
undergraduate degrees in design, fine and performing arts, art history, and art
education, with a unique emphasis on creative immersion. Far more than
receiving simply an education or preparation for a career; students leave
VCUarts with the practical, professional and personal skills needed to make a
life in the arts, no matter how they define it. That’s why VCUarts’ programs
emphasize both doing and knowing: why the majority of its faculty are working
artists, designers, performers, and scholars; and why they encourage students
to take advantage of the many academic and intellectual opportunities that come
with being part of a research university. Today, VCUarts graduates can be found
throughout the academic and professional fields and have been recognized with
everything from Emmys to MacArthur Fellowships.
VCUarts
is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, the
National Association of Schools of Dance, the National Association of Schools
of Music, the National Association of Schools of Theatre, the Virginia
Department of Education, the Council for Interior Design Accreditation and the
National Council for Accreditation for Teacher Education.
VCUarts is
dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty

identities. VCUarts faculty provide leadership by mentoring students; fostering
collaborative and hybrid curriculum and research across the arts and broader
campus; demonstrate through research, teaching, and/or public engagement the
richness of diversity in the learning experience; and integrate multicultural
approaches and perspectives into instructional methods.
