The arts and humanities are not only the heart and soul of the liberal arts, but they provide the skills—innovation, critical thinking, oral and written communication, and complex-problem solving—that employers have identified as most crucial to success in life after college.

The artists and scholars who make up the faculty of the School of Arts and Humanities demonstrate their mastery of these skills through their own increasingly prominent scholarly and creative work and through their teaching. The faculty’s ongoing commitment to pedagogical innovation gives students exciting opportunities to apply what they have learned through exhibitions, performances, presentations, research, internships, and travel. We welcome you to the School of Arts and Humanities, where students have the best of both worlds: they study what they love and get the skills they need.

During their junior or senior year, students are encouraged to pursue study abroad and internship opportunities, such as the Washington Internship program. Further information can be found on the University’s Office of Global Engagement website.

Our language lounge is open to all students taking language classes. The lounge provides you with a quiet space for study, tutoring, and small group work.
