Contact: Dr. Kevin Ewert
The Interdisciplinary Arts major at Pitt-Bradford provides students with a cross-curricular education in the arts that emphasizes creative problem solving and investigation. The program explores thematic relationships between the fine and performing arts through a combination of theoretical inquiry and experiential learning. Students select and integrate two concentrations from among the disciplines of creative writing, music, theatre and visual art, while guided through the process by a committed faculty of working artist-educators. The interdisciplinary experience culminates with the senior capstone course, in which students create projects that creatively weave together their areas of expertise.
Students majoring in interdisciplinary arts complete a total of 45 credits in the program - 9 general program credits taken by all students, 18 credits in each of two major areas of study.
Students are required to select two arts areas from art, music, theater, and writing disciplines as their major components in their Interdisciplinary Arts Major program.

Please be advised
Please be advised that some programs or courses of study require that students complete rotations, fieldwork, internships/externships and/or teaching assignments at facilities external to the university, while other programs or courses of study may offer voluntary internships or externships at facilities external to the university. Depending on the program or course, such facilities will or may require a criminal background check, an act 33/34 clearance (if applicable), and perhaps a drug screen to determine participant qualification or eligibility. Additionally, in order to become licensed, many states will inquire as to whether the applicant has been convicted of a misdemeanor, a felony, or a felonious or illegal act associated with alcohol and/or substance abuse.
