Interdisciplinarity expands the boundaries of conventional knowledge exponentially, and thus should be considered at the forefront of academic inquiry. — Charles Buchanan, PhD
If it doesn’t exist—create it.
A uniquely collaborative, multi-focus degree program, made possible through a joint effort across five schools in the College of Fine Arts.
The Interdisciplinary Arts B.F.A. is distinguished by its collaborative mission and curriculum. Students in the program will work with advisors in 2 or more schools, which will provide not only substantial areas of concentration but, when combined, a unique degree path.
A program advisor within the School of Interdisciplinary Arts will coordinate and approve appropriate curricular plans for each student pursuing the degree.
Looking for opportunities to collaborate with disciplines across the College of Fine Arts?
Students with diverse artistic backgrounds who have the vision to create their own path with the guidance of the faculty in a collaborative environment will find a supportive community of artist scholars to help develop the intellectual skills requiring multiple disciplines, the of use of creative imagination, and combining different perspectives in the examination of a specific topic.
Total credit hours: 120
