interdisciplinary arts graduate Certificate

This certifcate offers the 15-hour Fine Arts core of the PhD in Fine Arts as a separate program. It can be added to an MFA, DMA, MM or MA, or PhD from across the University, or can be taken as a stand-alone program. 

The 15-hour graduate certificate in Interdisciplinary Arts is open to any doctoral-level student and consists of the five-course core curriculum from the J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts' (TCVPA) existing Fine Arts Doctoral Program. Four required courses include a colloquium that explores disciplinary formation and types of interdisciplinary engagement; arts histories; arts in a contemporary context; and philosophical aesthetics. One additional approved topics or aesthetics course completes the certificate. This certificate is appropriate for students interested in the relationship between art forms and their associated modes of scholarship, and/or the intersection of the arts and disciplines outside of the TCVPA.
