The College of the Arts (Cota) is an institution of arts education in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. It employs 39 lecturers full-time and 75 on part time basis. Currently, 270 students are studying towards a Diploma degree, a further 650 are enrolled in fee-financed courses, and 4,800 students participate in community-based programs organised by the college.[1]

Cota was established by citizens of German heritage in 1971 as a Whites-only State Conservatory of Music. In the mid-80s drama and visual arts were added to the Conservatory's programs, and in 1990 it was renamed College for the Arts.[1]

The seven full-time degree programs currently offered are African Performing Arts, Product Development and Design, Fashion Design, Television Production, Radio Production, New Media Design, and Music and Sound Production.[1] Tertiary programs are offered as three-year courses of studies. COTA's leitmotiv is "Lifelong learning through the arts". [2]
