Professional Practices (3 credits)
▲ InterArts (IA)
The concentration in InterArts is an individualized program of study focused on arts research with multidisciplinary goals. Students concentrating in InterArts are engaged with both creative and conceptual inquiry in the development of artistic practice bolstered by knowledge of other disciplines. Often, this work exists at the interstices of artforms, and focuses on research on areas of interest to the student. InterArts students draw on the large resources of the School of Art and the university in creating an individualized program of studio courses and complementary courses for a total of 24 credits (12 credits of disciplinary focus and 12 credits of complementary study). In consultation with a faculty advisor, the student drafts a curriculum contract outlining the course of study, which is approved by the InterArts faculty. Admission to the concentration is based on acceptance into the BFA program via a portfolio review process and project approval from the InterArts faculty.
