About Us
At CFAM, we’re united by the creative forces of imagination and communication.
In the Spring of 2015, the College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media (CFAM) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) was restructured into three distinct schools: the School of the Arts, the School of Communication and the School of Music.
Founded in 2005 and built on a rich liberal arts tradition, CFAM was previously comprised of one school and four individual academic units: the School of Communication, and the departments of Art & Art History, Music, Theatre and Writer’s Workshop. Music is now a standalone school, and Art & Art History, Theatre and Writer’s Workshop form the School of the Arts.
The college is committed to producing scholars, artists
Career Opportunities
Our students are already making their mark in the world, thanks to the partnerships CFAM has cultivated with arts and professional organizations. Each year, our students take part in internships that take them into the local, regional and international community.
A Creative Community
The Omaha arts scene is thriving and UNO is at the center of the action. Our students and faculty are frequent collaborators with other area artists and arts organizations.
Getting Involved
CFAM students aren’t waiting to graduate for their moment in the spotlight — they’re making a name for themselves right now. Each year our students take part in campus organizations that give them confidence, service opportunities and a direct connection to their chosen careers.
Faculty as Artists
Our educators are artists in their own right. When not in the classroom, they’ll just as likely be working on their next painting or production. That level of commitment to their work is what keeps them connected to the campus and to the arts community.
