About International Direct - Integrated Design and Arts (Interdisciplinary Education in the Arts)

Program Description

International direct admission to UIC Global is for international students with advanced English-language skills. It focuses on academic, cultural, and professional growth so you can excel in school—and prepare for a successful future.

  • Career development and networking opportunities
  • Intensive classes with domestic students

Interdisciplinary Education in the Arts, previously titled in Integrated Design and the Arts, is a new program in the School of Art & Art History dedicated to the principle that the many opportunities and challenges of the contemporary world require broad-based, transdisciplinary thinking and action -- and that the arts is where the most creative thinking and making happen. IDEAS is for future creative leaders who are prepared to think and work both critically and creatively in preparation for cutting-edge, multifaceted careers linking the arts to each other within a context that includes the emerging digital landscape.

The four interdisciplinary courses that make up the core of IDEAS survey creativity as an engine for the visual arts, design, architecture, theater, music, exhibition studies, and the history and theory of the arts. After completing the core courses and training across the College of Architecture Design and the Arts, a senior capstone project is developed in partnership with an advisor or within an existing program.

With careful mentoring and the capstone project, the IDEAS major is trained for one or more of these exciting fields:

  • Interdisciplinary Design, Arts, Sound, or Visualization Research
  • Marketing and Communications
  • Art, Architecture, Design Criticism
  • Material or Digital Fabrication
  • Fine Arts or Entertainment Administration
  • Cultural Entrepreneurship
  • Academic Study in any Area of ISA
