Interdisciplinary Arts Minor

To earn a Minor in Interdisciplinary Arts, students must complete at least 27 units of coursework in the program and a senior capstone. Required coursework includes a foundational class in interdisciplinary methods, an experiential arts course, and 13-15 units of electives that focus on the intersection of two or more disciplines. The minor culminates in an interdisciplinary capstone that takes place over the course of senior year and is supported by a faculty advisor and an accompanying series of workshops.

See the COURSES menu tab for classes that fulfill the requirements summarized in the table below.

Inter-Arts Minor and Honors in the Arts

Any student in the Minor in Interdisciplinary Arts who is interested in creating a senior honors thesis is encouraged to apply for Honors in the Arts in their junior year. If accepted to this competitive program, students have two choices:

A) students may drop the minor need to drop and declare Honors instead.

B) students may pursue both the Inter-Arts Minor and Honors in the Arts, but must complete 6 additional units of coursework.

In senior year, Honors in the Arts students will enroll in the Honors Capstone Workshop series (ARTSINST 201A, B, & C) for up to five units per quarter. In addition to the creative project, they will develop a symposium presentation.
