* Integrative Arts majors complete major course work in two areas. These areas are defined in the academic plan submitted to the Coordinator with the assistance of your advisor.

**For any Art Area I course, consider an internship in the summer before or during your final year.

NOTE: Your actual academic plan should be worked out with your advisor, based on your Integrative Arts major proposal. Students without a proposal on file in the Integrative Arts degree coordinator's office are not eligible for Integrative Arts degree scholarships, degree audit substitutions related to the major, senior projects, or graduation.
