The interschool Integrated Arts Program offers courses that explore the creative process from the perspective of the artist in the disciplines of theater, visual arts, music, dance, and media arts. They work in this program with a faculty of artists and scholars from the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Music, and the School of Speech. The curriculum also features courses in different disciplines that take art as their subject, e.g., sociology and the arts, philosophy and the arts, communication studies and the arts.
Many courses are team-taught to provide the double perspective of practitioner and scholar.
Integrated arts courses examine the creative process in relation to the artist, media, artwork, and audience. The program s goals are to create a climate conducive to the making and understanding of art and to enhance the general liberal arts education of its students. Additional information about the Integrated Arts Program is available from the office of the Integrated Arts Program, the CAS Office of Studies, and the dean s offices in the Schools of Music and Speech. Minor in Integrated Arts Students who satisfactorily complete seven courses qualify for the minor in integrated arts. No background in visual arts, music, theater, or dance is required.
