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.
