At the College of Liberal Arts, we study the cultural, social, environmental, and historical context in which we live and examine what it means to be human.
Through interpretation, communication, and self-reflection, we learn to integrate different worldviews, which makes us better friends, partners, co-workers, and human beings.
- We are built on the foundation of critical thought, communication, and creativity.
- We are dedicated to preparing future leaders to improve the world.
- We've combined these beliefs with a focus on sustainability and real-world experience. Our students get their hands dirty, so to speak, by getting out of the classroom and into the community.
