Interdisciplinary Arts
Who We Are
The arts are not silos or ivory towers - their dynamic practices intersect with each other and with non-arts disciplines as well. The Department of Interdisciplinary Arts (DIA) was established in 2023 to provide better support for longstanding interdisciplinary degree programs and for student and/or faculty collaborations that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Graduates of our interdisciplinary arts programs find careers in creative arts production, academic scholarship, non-profit administration, arts criticism, and many more fields.

Student Spotlight
Laura Flanagan
As she visits and researches in Camperdown, Victoria (Australia), Fine Arts Doctoral Student Laura Flanagan demonstrates the possibilities of the Interdisciplinary Arts track by combining Musicology and Anthropology. Her dissertation work focuses on both the living musical traditions and past physical institutions that supported community arts activities in several Victoria locations, using both oral history and archival methods, and is participating in current manifestations of the musical culture that she studies.
