The IDA degree is comprehensive, tailored to you, and replaces the university’s Bachelor of Fine Arts theatre, musical theatre, and arts administration degrees.

Starting in Fall 2024, William Peace University will begin offering a BA in Interdisciplinary Arts (IDA) — making it one of only a dozen universities in the nation offering this unique major that redefines the way students study visual and performing arts.

Here’s how it works:

  • In addition to core interdisciplinary arts courses, students customize their degree with electives matching their individual artistic interests.
  • Courses include art, dance, film, game design, media, music, and theatre
  • As always, learning is immersive.
