A Message from the Dean’s Office

Welcome to the School of Arts and Creative Industries (ACI) at Austin Community College, where we are committed to a culture of innovation and inclusive excellence. Our programs are widely known throughout central Texas and we offer a wide variety of programs for you to explore. Housed at our newly renovated Highland Campus, our new teaching, creative, and performance spaces serve as a catalyst for supporting the creative economy of Austin and beyond.

ACI classes and programs provide exciting and real-world educational opportunities for students from all backgrounds and interests. We offer hands-on learning on the most up to date technology and equipment as we aim to position our students to be successful in reaching their educational and career goals through an interdisciplinary pathway of leading-edge industry technology training and integration, university transfer preparation, and personal enrichment.
ACI faculty and staff are skilled educators, industry professionals, and experts in their fields who are dedicated to student success. As you explore our programs, events, publications, and offerings, we hope you will see that your story starts here.
