Division of Liberal Arts
A Meeting Place for Ideas
Liberal Arts is a forum for all students to participate in artistic and academic exchanges. The multitude of perspectives taught by faculty are invaluable as you expand and refine your own views.
International
Committed to preparing you to practice in the global economy, Liberal Arts faculty teach you with an international perspective. Many have traveled extensively, taught at universities in Hong Kong and other countries, and explored the cultures of Germany, Africa and Argentina during sabbaticals.
Multi-Disciplinary
Many faculty are also accomplished creative individuals in multiple fields — a folklorist who is also a cellist, a Ph.D who doubles as a theater critic, and others who are experts in both scholarly and practical perspectives.
Accomplished
Faculty include published authors, a Fulbright scholar, a Rockefeller and Guggenheim Fellow, an expert on women artists, and the co-founder of The American Poetry Review.
Liberal Arts Philosophy
- We raise your awareness of international, cultural, religious and political issues.
- We aim to develop your powers of critical thinking and your understanding of the history of the creative arts.
- We introduce you to philosophic and scientific modes of thought, and to the study of human cultures and societies.
- We refine your perceptions of both your inner world and the outer world and help make you both intellectually responsible and creative.
