In 2007, NSCAD University became the first university in North America to offer an interdisciplinary arts degree-granting program. The Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Interdisciplinary Arts program offers students the opportunity to explore a variety of media and practices in the areas of fine arts, media arts, craft and design. This program enables you to tailor your studies to your individual interests as an artist. Students will develop a range of skills, knowledge and techniques that foster cross-disciplinary ways of working. As you engage in the critical discourses of your chosen disciplines, you will gain an understanding of diverse practices and approaches, historical and contemporary issues, and the relationship between conceptual concerns, material and process.

Graduates of NSCAD’s interdisciplinary program become successful studio artists and craftspeople, entrepreneurs, gallery and museum administrators, designers, illustrators, community educators and arts writers. Many go on to study at the graduate level and become critics, curators, architects, museum and gallery archivists and college/university professors.
