InterArts allows students to chart a unique creative and intellectual path across the areas represented in the visual arts – art history, photography, and studio arts . Working with a faculty advisor, students take a range of interdisciplinary coursework most aligned with their creative and research interests, rigorously supporting skill and conceptual development.

Learning Aims

As artist-scholars, visual arts majors will demonstrate:   

• The ability to express ideas rigorously through reasoned argument and creative production, supported by textual and/or technical research.
• Command of the critical vocabulary of analysis, including the histories and material production of visual images.
• Interdisciplinary approaches to visual arts practices and scholarship, integrating philosophical, historical, scientific, and professional contexts.
• The cognitive skills of innovation, verbal acuity, and creative problem solving associated with a mastery of the visual arts as history, theory, and studio practice.
