The School of Arts and Humanities is full of exciting and diverse opportunities designed to immerse students in the college experience, while preparing them for successful and fulfilling lives. In the ever-changing world of technical developments, employers continue to demand employees that can think critically, speak articulately, demonstrate creativity and empathy in problem-solving, and have a thorough understanding of the complexity of the human existence. Our world-class faculty guide students on stage, in the studio, behind a camera or microphone, in the library, and in the classroom to become the best version of themselves.
