Integrative Arts, B.A. (IARAL)
Choose a track
Each integrative arts major is required to
complete 24 credits in a primary art area
and 18 in secondary arts. Included in
these 42 credits are 6 credits in various
art/theatre/music/dance history course
and 15 credits on the 400-level. Students
may design a course of study with the
primary and secondary art areas determined
by their own intersts with guidance
from their advisor and formalized
in a proposal required of all majors by
the completion of 60 credits. Or students
may prefer to follow a predetermined
track of study.
The arts, as defined by the
integrative arts major include: theatre,
music, dance, visual arts, digital media,
creative writing, photography and film/
video. The secondary art areas can be
expanded to include any other field
of study, such as business, psychology,
English, biology, communications,
women's studies, history, and any other
courses offered on our campus.
Integrative Arts majors complete
a senior project in their final year. The
goal is to create a new statement in the
arts, integrating their chosen fields of
study. Students often choose to produce,
direct, perform, create exhibitions,
write books, but anything is possible.
Collaboration with other seniors is
highly encouraged.
Opportunities abound for those
interested in any type of involvement in
performance or production: a minimum
of two theatre productions every year,
Ivyside Dance Ensemble, Ivyside Pride,
five additional music ensembles, a literary
magazine, and a student newspaper.
