Faculty/Mission

The mission of the School of Arts and Humanities is to cultivate students’ appreciation of and pleasure in literature, languages, philosophy, art, and music, as well as to give them the personal and professional skills to pursue stimulating careers for creative individuals with excellent writing, speaking, and critical thinking abilities. Many Arts and Humanities courses serve the entire campus as General Education requirements or as requirements for disciplines outside the School of Arts and Humanities.

At the undergraduate level, the School of Arts and Humanities offers a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree with concentrations in Art, Communication, English, Modern Languages, and Music.

Minors are available in Art, English, French, Music, Philosophy, Spanish, and Communication.

At the graduate level, the School of Arts and Humanities offers a Master of Arts in English and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. Students can also pursue graduate certificates in Children’s and Adolescent Literature, Composition and Rhetoric, Creative Writing, Literature, and Debate Pedagogy.
