At the CSULB College of the Arts, we are proud of our graduates who find success and fulfillment and a living wage (or more) while practicing their chosen art form. We are equally proud of our alumni who take the creative thinking, problem solving, flexibility, and communication skills honed in our classrooms, studios, exhibition halls, screening rooms, and stages and apply those strengths to endeavors and careers they did not originally foresee. For the past twenty years, surveys and reports have demonstrated - through statistics and anecdotes - that the very skills, strategies, and strengths shaped by the continual practice of making art - be it dance, painting, sculpture, music, design, theatre, or film - are highly valued in the work place, and are a stronger guarantee of success in business than many traditional paths.
