The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University is one of the largest comprehensive design and arts colleges in the nation, located within a dynamic 21st-century research university.

The Herberger Institute comprises six schools: ASU FIDM; the School of Art; the School of Arts, Media and Engineering; The Design School; The Sidney Poitier New American Film School; and the School of Music, Dance and Theatre. It also houses the ASU Art Museum[1] and the ASU FIDM Museum, LA's only fashion museum. The Herberger Institute operates across two states and four cities, including Los Angeles, as well as online.

In 2024, architect and educator Renée Cheng was named the new dean of the Herberger Institute, succeeding Steven Tepper, who served as dean and director of the institute for 10 years before his inauguration as the 21st president of Hamilton College. Cheng’s role at ASU also includes serving as senior vice provost.

The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona was created in 2009 by the merger of two existing academic units, the Katherine K. Herberger College of the Arts and the College of Design. The Arizona Board of Regents approved the merger on April 30, 2009.[2]
