The faculty in the College of Liberal Arts are exceptionally well educated and well connected in their fields. Their knowledge and networking help our students prepare for careers after graduation in a wide variety of fields.
Programs for You to Be You
We offer choices that make sense for your interests—whether you’re looking for a program to express your creativity, make a difference in people’s lives, help solve our society’s problems, learn a language and culture, or something yet to be defined.
Since many liberal arts courses count in the General Education Program, graduating in 4 years—even with double majors or multiple minors—is a reality.
