In collaboration with Liberal Arts and First Year Writing, Creative Practices introduces first year students to contemporary practitioners across the disciplines. Collaborative Studio, offered as a set of course options taken in the sophomore or junior years, focuses on the collaborative creation of student-directed projects.
