Department of Arts

An Arts education helps to foster critical thinking, communication, reasoning, and intellectual curiosity. We want our students to be aware individuals, capable of making sense of the world, and ready for a lifetime of learning.

We are creating an aptitude for intercultural understanding amongst our students through study, reflection, debate, and action across cultural differences, and these aptitudes will serve our students well as they emerge as leaders in their chosen fields and their communities.

To produce the best student experience, we will create a seamless advising and information system for students, help build small-scale student communities, foster a creative and healthy campus life, and provide support for student wellness and health.
