In 1939 UCLA established the College of Applied Arts which included two curricula leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree, the
Department of Art and the Department of Music.
In 1960 the College of Fine Arts was established replacing the College of Applied Arts. Course listings under the College
of Fine Arts first appeared in the 1961/1962 UCLA General Catalog and included the departments of: Art, Music, and Theater
Arts. The Department of Dance as added to the College of Fine Arts in 1962.
As of the 1990 Fall academic quarter, the College of Fine Arts was restructured to form two schools: the School of the Arts
and the School of Theater, Film, and Television. This configuration continued until the 1995/1996 academic year when the Graduate
School of Architecture and Urban Design joined the School of the Arts to form the School of the Arts and Architecture.
Record Series 620 contains administrative files generated by the dean of the School of the Arts at the University of California,
Los Angeles. Files regard the planning, organization, reorganization, curriculum, and operation of the School of the Arts,
headed by Dean Robert Blocker. Additionally, some similar files of the School's predecessors, the College of Applied Arts
and College of Fine Arts (CFA) are included.
This is an inactive record series; no additional University records are expected to be added.
