Interdisciplinary Studies (Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance), MA

The MA degree in interdisciplinary studies is an innovative program in which students learn how to use two or more disciplines in an integrative method that leads to new discoveries. The concentration in interdisciplinary arts and performance enables students to engage the study of interdisciplinary art practices and theories from a perspective developed over decades of the New College's undergraduate interdisciplinary arts and performance major. Throughout the curriculum, interdisciplinary arts are outwardly and continually inclusive, expanding, evolving and innovative, empowering students to shape and direct their creative pathways. Students engage in a deeper collaborative investigation of multiple artistic disciplines, interacting with theoretically advanced studies in visual, sonic and performance arts to become versatile artists and art scholars, preparing them for the complex and changing world through current approaches to aesthetic innovation. The program gives students access to faculty members who are active practitioners of interdisciplinary inquiry. Students work with the faculty to define their own areas of artistic practices.
