The arts, humanities, media, and public affairs are at the heart of what it means to be human. In the College of Arts, Humanities, Media, and Public Affairs, creativity of thought and discourse, of language and expression, of design and form, of performance, of artmaking, of culture, of civic engagement, and of exploring the diversity of our world are interwoven to provide the groundwork for students to develop meaningful lives and careers.
Students engaged across the college’s courses and programs––as well as through their foundational role in the liberal studies curriculum––will develop ways of thinking, communicating, and knowing that provide a pathway for the future by promoting creativity, critical and objective thinking, analytical skills, and an awareness of our mutual responsibilities to our communities. In doing so, we prepare students to become leaders in an ever-changing world.
Central to the college’s mission is its role as a hub of arts and ideas. Through its various centers, performances and exhibitions, and by bringing diverse voices to campus, the college embraces its opportunity to be a center for culture, discovery, and discourse, and exploring how they connect us across the world.
