School of Liberal Arts

The liberal arts department provides each student with a solid foundation in the traditional coursework of the disciplines as well as the general education core curriculum required for a bachelor’s degree. Liberal arts courses complement the majors through a rigorous and scholarly approach to subject matter that serves as inspiration and often motivation for innovation.

Liberal arts faculty are diverse in background. Their expertise supports students as they further their written and oral language skills, critical thinking ability, cultural awareness, collaborative strategies, computer literacy, and mathematical prowess.

Art History

Art historians view the world through the history of its art and seek to preserve art as a source for understanding the world and its cultures. Visual sensitivity, knowledge of history, training in research methods and writing skills are developed through the study of art history.
