- Biographical / historical:
-
PIA was an interdisciplinary program with classes in the visual arts, theater, music, writing, and dance. After a review by a Visiting Committee on the Arts at Barnard composed of alumnae, faculty and trustees and notable practitioners and patrons of the arts, the PIA was discontinued in 1988. In its place formal majors in dance, music, and theatre were established. Writing and the visual arts component of the program became concentrations in English and art history majors, respectively.
