The Bachelor of Humanities and Arts (BHA)
Program is an inter-college degree-granting program. It is
designed for students who would like to combine and blend their
interests in fine arts and humanities/social sciences rather than
pursue a conventional major and degree in either the College of
Fine Arts (CFA) or the College of Humanities and Social Sciences
(H&SS). To be considered for the BHA Program, a student must
apply and be admitted to both CFA and H&SS. You must check the
CFA box and H&SS box on page 3 of the application supplement,
and also circle/star/check the BHA description under Interdisciplinary
Programs. Not all students admitted to both colleges are selected
for the BHA Program. In addition, you must include with your application
a statement of intent (essay) describing your interdisciplinary
goals in both the fine arts and humanities/social sciences AND how
the BHA Program would provide the opportunity and framework for
you to accomplish these objectives. This essay is a central component
in the selection process. In you essay:
(1) tell us about your past and present forms of recognition for
academic achievement,
(2) note past and present involvement in arts-related activities
and artistic achievement,
(3) note the areas(s) of the fine arts that you intend to pursue
as a BHA student, and
(4) articulate your educational objectives, discuss why you feel
that the BHA Program is uniquely suited to achieve these objectives

this program, you will be notified in your admission decision letter.
