The BSA program pairs a Mellon College of Science major (biology, math, physics, chemistry, or neuroscience) with a CFA arts concentration. Imagine engineering protein-based bioplastics and then designing an exhibit that biodegrades into a community garden, or modeling galactic collisions while composing orchestral pieces sonifying cosmic data. Intensive lab research merges with studio critique, and the dual-advisor model ensures depth in both domains.
