| What it is | Integrative Arts is a studio-based degree where you create work across multiple art forms — like film, photography, digital media, and performance — rather than specializing in just one. You study both the creative production and the critical theory behind media and communication, so you learn to think about why and how art works, not just how to make it. It suits people who want flexibility to explore different artistic practices and aren't sure yet which medium they want to focus on. | You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work. | This program combines the study of how people create, share, and interpret information across media and cultures. You'll choose from areas like creative writing, media studies, publishing, and information technology, rather than specializing in just one. The co-op option lets you work in communications or tech roles while you study, which suits people who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in choosing which communication field interests them most. |
