Arts-Related Courses

Partial List of Courses Completed by AIE Students
for Arts-Related Credit in Recent Years

All AIE students are required to do arts-related work in five courses (or, say, in four courses and two modules), for at least 20 of the minimum 32 credits (five of the eight courses) needed to graduate, either in courses that are explicitly arts-related or in courses whose instructors historically have been receptive to arts-related student research projects as part of the course work. The following is a list of the courses that have been approved in recent years. (Many but not all of these courses are offered every year.) Toward the end of each semester, students are required to submit an individualized program record listing all arts-related courses and electives taken during the year.
