About the Program

Can't decide on just one creative pathway? At AMPD, you don’t have to.   

Explore the arts in a brand new way with our Integrative Arts program, where creativity, self-discovery and critical thinking intersect. Become a well-rounded artist with expertise across various disciplines and creative fields. Focused on the intersection of arts, entrepreneurship and technology, you will learn through collaboration inside and outside the classroom.  

You’ll begin with foundation courses that build essential skills, then supplement your studies with courses across AMPD, tailored to your unique interests and career goals, including course options from Cinema & Media Arts, Digital Media, Dance, Music, Theatre and Visual Art & Art History.

This interdisciplinary program culminates in collaborative capstone projects, equipping you to create impactful work that inspires and drives change.
