Think. Make. Do Good. This has been part of the DNA of the Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology at The University of Texas at Dallas for 50 years. The Bass School’s commitment to helping students explore their full potential began in 1975 with the founding of our legacy school – the School of Arts and Humanities at UT Dallas. From the start, the vision has been to educate and inspire, valuing creativity and innovation just as much as knowledge and skills. This vision continues to guide us today in addressing the needs of a new generation of artists, performers, and scholars. Bass graduates include outstanding animators, philosophers, game designers, actors, singers, historians, musicians, writers, literature scholars, painters, sculptors, and sound engineers. Bass faculty are award-winning experts, researchers, and artists who are dedicated to student success. They contribute to cutting-edge research, creative projects, and professional partnerships that make an impact in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond.
Few institutions integrate the arts, humanities, and emerging technologies as seamlessly as the Bass School. As part of UT Dallas, ranked No. 3 among the best public universities in Texas, the Bass School encourages fluid movement between disciplines and artistic expression. Here, students learn in a lecture format in one class, and then work in a makerspace in another. Research labs and centers; 2D, 3D, AR/VR and creative practice studios; traditional and media libraries; galleries; and leading-edge and conventional classrooms allow full access to technologies aligned with industry demands. Students understand what it’s like to study and perform, often in the same day. They learn to work independently as well as with peers and faculty, gaining versatile skills that apply across fields. In exciting forms of collaborative and experimental learning, Bass students imagine, invent and create, while preparing to succeed and make a difference in a globally connected world.
