Division of Liberal Arts

The Division of Liberal Arts aims to develop students' powers of critical thinking and their understanding of the history and criticism of the creative arts, to introduce them to philosophic and scientific modes of thought, and to the study of human cultures and societies. The goal is to refine students' perceptions of both their inner and outer worlds and to help make them both intellectually responsible and creative.

The Liberal Arts Division represents a common ground in the curriculum where students from both the College of Art, Media and Design and the College of Performing Arts meet, offering a unique forum for artistic and academic exchanges.

The BFA in Creative Writing is the first degree program offered through the Division of Liberal Arts at the University of the Arts. This writing-intensive curriculum provides mentorship from a dedicated faculty of published poets and novelists and an inspiring artistic environment in which to write, read and create.
