In fall 2020, students in both the college and the conservatory can deepen and widen their understanding of music by learning about it in a variety of contexts and disciplines through five interdisciplinary programs.

These five interdivisional courses of study are designed to complement a student’s major. Students can have an academic experience that encompasses both depth of study in a well-established field with an experimental curriculum in an emerging area.
