An extraordinary living and learning community of spirited and talented individuals, the Arts Scholars program attracts a diverse student population from a wide range of academic disciplines. First and second year cohorts share common interests in the desire for creative expression and engagement with the arts.  They explore a broad selection of interdisciplinary topics through thematically-inspired colloquia, build connections with visiting artists, engage in supporting courses that suit their interests, and participate in off-campus excursions to regional arts institutions and cultural sites over the duration of the two-year program.
