Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Education in the Arts

Program Overview

IDEAS stands for Interdisciplinary Education in the Arts. We are a program in the School of Art & Art History dedicated to the principle that the many opportunities and challenges of the contemporary world require broad-based, transdisciplinary thinking and action -- and that the arts is where the most creative thinking and making happen. IDEAS is for future creative leaders who are prepared to think and work both critically and creatively in preparation for cutting-edge, multifaceted careers linking
the arts to each other within a context that includes the emerging digital landscape.

The four interdisciplinary courses that make up the core of IDEAS survey creativity as an engine for the visual arts, design, architecture, theater, music, exhibition studies, and the history and theory of the arts. After completing the core courses and training across the College of Architecture Design and the Arts, a senior capstone project is developed in partnership with an advisor or within an existing program.
