Interdisciplinary Studies in the Arts

Faculty: Brininger, Burton, Carbonneau (director), Crawford, R. Davis, Kim, Lepore, Malone, Mandes

The Interdisciplinary Studies in the Arts Division provides faculty support in developing arts-based integrated programs for all George Mason students. The faculty of this division comes from any school or college within George Mason. The goal is an integrated arts experience that transcends any one particular Western "high-art" tradition. This division sponsors work in arts management, cross-disciplinary studies in the arts and world arts, and culture, among others.

The division offers all course work designated ARIN in the "Course Descriptions" chapter of this catalog and supports interdisciplinary minors in arts administration and interdisciplinary arts.
