It is composed of five former separate academic institutions: the Conservatory of Music (founded 1918), the College of National Music (founded 1949), the College of Decorative Arts (founded 1960), the College of Dramatic Arts (founded 1964), and Farabi University (founded 1975).

Current offerings include industrial design and clothing design. As of 2018[update] Dr. Ahmad Tondi is the faculty's dean.[4]

In addition to BA and MA programs, the Faculty of Architecture offers two PhD programs in urbanism and architecture. The dean of the faculty is Dr. Seyed Behshid Hosseini.[citation needed]
In 1957, the Department of Fine Arts established the Dramatic Arts Office, which was renamed to the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in 1960. Since Iranian universities re-opened in 1983, the school has operated as the Faculty of Cinema and Theater, currently offering BA and MA programs in eight areas: cinema, acting, puppetry, scenery design, acting and directing, dramatic literature, animation, and theater directing.[5]
