About the Interdisciplinary Arts Graduate Certificate

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 Talkington College of Visual and Performing Arts’ 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.
