Senior Capstone

The Interdiscipliniary Arts Program offers three, distinctive opportunities for capstone experiences. These choices include completing a thesis presentation that demonstrates academic excellence in the area of scholarly research and writing. Some IA students may choose to apply their technique and creativity by making or interpreting a work of art of presenting a public, arts presentation. The Third option includes internships, where IA students can apply their arts based knowledge to relevant experiences in the work force. 

Elective Credits

Elective credits within the Interdisciplinary Arts program encourage students to explore how their multi-disciplinary arts education can engage with other areas of interest. Some students are encouraged to explore additional coursework in those Areas of Concentration, while others may use elective credits to explore cross-disciplinary, academic partnership. Those IA students might recognize how the Arts work in partnership within the fields of Psychology, Social Work, and Disability Studies (Art, Drama, & Music Therapy) or Business Management, Marketing, and Technical Writing (Arts Administration & Special Events Planning). Students that see these interconnections should consider Elective credits as an Opportunity for adding another academic minor or even a double major.
