INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES Our arts program urges students to think about the arts beyond the studio or stage, and consider how these disciplines intersect with society, history, literature, science, and technology. At UHS, you can investigate the creative process through a variety of lenses, including advanced technical coursework in the arts and interrogative and interpretive classes like Civilization and the Arts: A Transcultural History of the West and the World.
