About Fine Arts Cultural Studies York University's Fine Arts Cultural Studies program offers a comprehensive, integrated approach to fine arts education that reflects current interdisciplinary and cross-cultural developments in the field. The study of the relationship between the arts and the new technologies, including theoretical and practical work in digital applications in fine arts, is a key component. The curriculum is built around a core of interdisciplinary courses which explore the interrelation of the arts and the environments in which they exist.
Students then design their own course of study in accordance with their interests and career goals.
They may choose to take a wide range of courses, or to pursue a specialization in streams of study such as world cultures, art and technology, arts management, or arts and education. Special features of the Fine Arts Cultural Studies program include courses in interactive multimedia and internship placements in the arts industries for upper-level students. With its strong interdisciplinary base, Cultural Studies provides a solid foundation for a wide variety of careers in the arts, including education, arts media, arts criticism and history, arts therapy, and arts administration.
