The Interdisciplinary Visual Arts degree allows students to develop intellectual and creative strengths and plan for future careers within the learning context of the visual arts. Students are encouraged to work with faculty and art advisers to develop individual educational and career goals that take full advantage of options and opportunities afforded by this degree.

Individuals in this degree program develop their skill and knowledge through completion of selected courses in studio art (ceramics, fibers, metals, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and photography), art history, and experiential learning.

Students also have the opportunity to choose from various interdisciplinary studio art topics (ART 360) and complete a senior project (ART400). Students may also investigate related areas, such as film studies, architecture, business, comparative history of ideas, digital arts and experimental media, and computer science. In addition to academic studies, many Interdisciplinary Visual Arts students participate in internships in preparation for future careers in visual art related fields such as education, arts administration, museum and gallery work, architecture, art therapy, animation, interior design, fashion design, fine arts, art conservation, film and media, advertising and marketing.

Interdisciplinary Visual Art majors may plan to take studio classes in fibers, printmaking, painting and drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and glass. A detailed list of courses offered by the school, from which IVA majors may choose, is available in the Online Course Catalog: ARTART HISTORY

The Interdisciplinary Visual Arts program has developed and teaches a number of innovative courses with a mixed media, cross-disciplinary approach, combining both traditional and digital new technologies specifically designed for their majors. These classes are listed below.

Please note:  Due to space and resource limitations during the regular school year, we are unable to offer studio courses to non-matriculated students.  Non-matriculated students are welcome during summer quarter. Auditors are not allowed in studio courses.
