College of Liberal Arts

MISSION

The College of Liberal Arts offers undergraduate and graduate studies in the humanities, the social sciences, and the visual and performing arts.

The College seeks to prepare students for productive lives in a dynamic multicultural world by developing habits of critical thinking which can serve as the foundation for the development of such basic intellectual skills as reading, listening, mathematical competency, speaking, and writing.

These objectives are pursued through a program of formal instruction providing specialized knowledge and skills within an environment that emphasizes broad and diverse forms of interaction between and among students and faculty.

The College seeks to provide an experience that will help to develop habits of active learning and a commitment to continued inquiry and intellectual growth.
