A commitment to transdisciplinary study is at the core of SAIC's undergraduate education. In the arts, as in society in general, creative problem solving considers the complexity of contemporary issues. The conventional hierarchies between disciplines have dissolved in favor of more fluid investigations, frequently through collaborative teamwork. Concurrently, a resurgence in the importance of craft, material histories and cultural meanings gives substance to making and research. From the minute they enter SAIC, students are given first-hand experience in the full range of studio practices and academic approaches. Joan Livingstone, Interim Dean of Undergraduate Studies
