Multidisciplinary Creative Practice
Why study creative practice at Geneseo?
This minor is a good fit for students who aren’t studying fine arts but who are interested in engaging with their personal creativity. It fosters creative thinking and practice, critical thinking, problem-solving, and the integration of theory and practice in a transformational manner by bringing together research, intellectual development, and practical application in different disciplines and areas of creative expression, which are inherently self-reflective. Students can explore their expressive potential in the generation of original projects, works of art, scientific experiments, and created texts.
