Supporting the College of Liberal & Creative Arts

Students in SFSU broadcast studio

Our College of Liberal & Creative Arts (LCA) curriculum prepares students for an increasingly global culture in which they will influence contemporary spaces, media and social interactions. We educate students for life in an increasingly complex world, rich with diversity and replete with challenges, in which they will make a difference by offering their vision to lead others.

LCA offers several master’s, bachelor’s, minors and certificate programs within more than 20 schools and departments. Our education equips students to thrive in a society both local and global. We deliver academic excellence by pursuing knowledge, inspiring creativity, supporting our diverse community and advancing social justice and positive change at a time in which the world may be in its greatest need.

Giving That Inspires Future Impact

I’d be really happy if one day some of our giving makes an impact and helps some students or professors become very successful and have a positive impact on the world. That’s my hope.

CLCA Funding Initiatives

LCA prepares students to think critically, communicate creatively and engage meaningfully with the world through the arts, humanities, media and social sciences.

Scholarships

Scholarships provide our students with the time to focus on their craft to become incredible performers, the means to acquire equipment to create intricate projects and pursue their art and the opportunity to undertake critical research which will enrich our understanding of the world’s culture and history.

LCA Live is a multidisciplinary performing arts and lecture series at SFSU that supports the mission of the college and the University through the deliberate creation of a space for arts education and appreciation; intellectual stimulation; cultural exchange; student, faculty and staff engagement; and community outreach.
 

LCA Live values and works to support: a student-centered education; the principles of access, diversity and inclusion upon considering its performers and patrons; raising the visibility of emerging and under-resourced artists, makers, thinkers and scholars; and engendering inclusive practices and spaces that nourish the creative spirit of all who engage with LCA Live.
