Interdisciplinary ventures like the Humanities Center integrates the arts and culture with dimensions of public policy, law, science, and medicine. The Creative Industry Initiative pulls together individuals interested in music, multimedia studies, graphic design, communication, business, and technological entrepreneurship.
Outside of campus, architecture students work with city agencies to design urban housing proposals for real sites around Boston. Collaborations with Hebrew College, the Massachusetts College of Art, the New England Aquarium and the New England Conservatory inspire our campus community and our neighbors to be both creators and appreciators of the arts.
