Interdisciplinary Arts Major at Arts Academy

The Interdisciplinary Arts major is designed for students who wish to explore more than one artistic discipline and the intersection of multiple art forms—both as an individual artist and in collaboration with others. The division’s schedule allows you the flexibility to pursue training in other arts divisions while taking core classes in the Interdisciplinary Arts division. Collaboration with other artists within and outside the division is encouraged.

What You'll Learn

The Interdisciplinary Arts curriculum provides access to accomplished faculty from all our artistic disciplines. You will work closely with the Director of Interdisciplinary Arts to create an individualized plan of study to match your artistic goals. Instructors from the Creative Writing, Music, Film & New Media, Visual Arts, Theatre, and Dance departments will help you polish an array of talents as you prepare for a dynamic future.

As a student at our boarding school for Interdisciplinary Arts, you will:

• Develop artistic potential across multiple disciplines 
• Apply practical skills in creative expression, collaboration, arts leadership, and management
• Refine skills in communication, organization, and planning
• Collaborate across disciplines through designing, producing, and devising original work
• Exhibit knowledge of the cultural movements that shaped art and cultural history, and the history of performance 
• Broaden the artistic mind to encompass all elements of artistic expression and develop the "complete artist"
