VISION, MISSION & VALUESOur Vision
Our Vision is the lifelong success of students as leaders of their own educational experience and growth, creators of innovative and complex approaches to learning, and responsible contributors in an interdisciplinary world.
Our Mission
The goal of the Bachelor of
Humanities and Arts (BHA), Bachelor of Science and Arts (BSA), and Bachelor of Computer Science and
Arts (BCSA) BXA Interdisciplinary Degree Programs is to allow a select group of students who
demonstrate interest and accomplishment in the fine arts and the
humanities, social sciences or natural sciences, computer science,
and emerging media to pursue both arenas of study through a self-designed
interdisciplinary curriculum. To explore beyond the traditional
academic major, or integrate more than one field of study across
disciplines, students develop concentrations in the College of Fine
Arts, the Mellon College of Science, the College of Humanities and
Social Sciences or the School of Computer Science. These programs
foster the creativity of students who explore innovative approaches
to the academic environments of two colleges. Rather than follow
the predetermined curriculum of a particular school or department,
the students reach across boundaries to create their own unique
educational careers. By merging the components in the arts and natural
sciences or humanities or computer science into an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary
study, a unique, complex product is born which leads to the discovery
of new information, questions and theory. BXA students
are models of independence, motivation and well-rounded scholarship
as humanists, scientists, and artists at the same time. In the context
of the Carnegie Mellon University environment, BXA Interdisciplinary Degree
Programs hold a special role. It provides access to four strong colleges
that offer specialized training with expert faculty and researchers.
The challenge of the students is to utilize those resources to explore
and develop their own concentrations or interdisciplinary studies
in the fine arts and natural sciences, humanities or computer science.
Our Values
Artistic and Intellectual Excellence, Creativity and Innovation, Independence, Leadership, Community.
