Its ornate facade, soaring interior atrium, and galleries housing student and faculty work reflect CMU's deep commitment to the arts alongside its technical prowess. CMU's drama, music, architecture, and fine arts programs are consistently ranked among the very best in the nation. The School of Drama, housed here, has launched the careers of celebrated actors, directors, and playwrights - alumni include Ted Danson, Holly Hunter, and Blair Underwood.
