Before its closure, UArts offered Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Fine Arts degrees across seventeen undergraduate majors and several graduate programs. Visual arts programs included animation, film/video, fine arts, graphic design, illustration, industrial design, and photography. Performing arts encompassed dance, music, and theater programs. Additional programs in art education, museum studies, and writing reflected the university's comprehensive scope.<ref name="uarts">{{cite web |url=https://www.uarts.edu/programs |title=Academic Programs |publisher=University of the Arts |access-date=December 30, 2025}}</ref>

The Ira Brind School of Theater Arts trained actors, directors, and theater practitioners; the School of Dance offered one of the region's few BFA dance programs; and music programs spanned classical, jazz, and contemporary genres. These programs benefited from Philadelphia's cultural resources—theaters, galleries, museums, and performance venues that provided learning opportunities and professional connections.<ref name="uarts"/>
