Student Research

Students enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Arts Department's graduate programs are each leaders of research, which is formally evaluated numerous times during a students' education with us. Among these evaluations are a series of week-long critique sessions in which the entire department participates. The faculty have selected several projects from the most recent critique session that provide a sense of the diversity of these research projects. Learn more at the Student Research page.
