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.
- 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.
