Integrative Studio Practice
The BFA in Integrative Studio Practice (ISP) is a professional undergraduate degree for students whose artistic goals entail working with media in combination. Students in the program develop critical thinking skills, refine their intellectual and creative processes, and learn both traditional and contemporary aspects of artistic practice. Opportunities following graduation are essentially the same as for students identifying with a single program.
