UCI Drama is one of the four departments comprising the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, which provides students with extensive opportunities to work in collaboration with students and faculty in the School’s closely-related programs - Dance, Music and Studio Art. Therefore, within the School, cross-disciplinary creative opportunities - such as video art, multi-media performance, opera, dance theatre and performance art - continually flourish. Nor are interdisciplinary connections limited to within our School – Drama enjoys fruitful relations with a great many departments and programs across the campus, including English, History, Comparative Literature, Political Science, Computer Science, Asian American Studies, African American Studies, East Asian Languages and Literature, Critical Theory, Spanish and Portuguese, German and Russian, and French and Italian. And Drama’s Ph.D. studies are conducted as part of a comprehensive joint program – the first such in the nation - with our sister campus, UC San Diego.
