Founded in 1928 in Richmond, Virginia, VCUarts has been consistently ranked among the top ten arts programs in the United States for decades.

When the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, founded in 1995, became interested in bringing prestigious international higher education institutions to Doha’s planned Education City, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU’s parent institution) was the first to answer the calling.

In 1998, VCU opened and managed the Shaqab College of Design Arts, becoming the first American university to open a satellite campus in Qatar.

In 2002, complete control of the Shaqab College of Design Arts was handed over to VCU School of the Arts, and it has been known as the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (or VCUarts Qatar) ever since.
