Overview

The Integrative Arts programme delivered by Pennsylvania State University is an interdisciplinary major available to students who desire a curriculum that crosses over traditional single discipline lines. The Integrative Arts student initially establishes an academic plan with the assistance of an approved adviser.

Key Facts

The plan must contain a core component of 42 credits and an elective component of 15 credits. The two components combined must clearly illustrate that the plan has clarity, purpose, and cohesion. All Integrative Arts students must complete 6 credits of history of the arts. These credits may be counted as a part of the major or, if outside the major, may be counted under General Education and/or Bachelor of Arts degree requirements. Consult with adviser for course selection.

The Integrative Arts major provides opportunities for students to unite their creative and vocational interests in the arts and design with other areas such as science, technology, business, and more. It’s a hands-on, self-directed approach to creative and career development. Creative interests and professional aspirations come together to explore unique and unexpected creative, intellectual, and professional pathways. Combine painting and sculpture with biology; merge a passion for illustration with writing children’s literature; enhance digital media with UX design—the possibilities are endless!

General requirements

Incoming first year students must apply to the College of Arts and Architecture at Penn State. Students who are accepted to the College of Arts and Architecture will start in a pre-major (AA_PMAJ) status. Students will prepare a proposal for entry to INART, typically before the end of their second year. The first step in the Integrative Arts application process is to contact the Integrative Arts Office to arrange a time to meet with the Program Coordinator to discuss the Integrative Arts major and your specific goals in the arts and design. Written proposals must be submitted by November 15th in the fall semester, or by March 30th in the spring semester.
