The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts is a special part of Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, Arizona. It was created in 2009 when two older schools joined together. These were the Katherine K. Herberger College of the Arts and the College of Design.
This institute is a place where students can learn about many creative subjects. It has five main schools and also a museum. Students can study art, design, music, dance, theatre, and film here.
What You Can Study Here
The Herberger Institute has several different schools and a museum. Each one focuses on a different area of creativity:

Many people have helped lead the Herberger Institute and its earlier schools. These leaders, called deans, guide the programs and help students succeed. The current dean, who started in 2014, is Steven J. Tepper.
