The College of Humanities and Fine Arts strives to provide high-quality academic and professional programs consistent with the university's commitment to excellence in undergraduate education. These programs serve students who are majors and minors within the college, inculcating a “real world” capacity to use knowledge constructively and responsibly. Equally important, humanities and fine arts courses provide a critical foundation for students from other disciplines, increasing the students' intellectual, creative and civic competencies as they foster a climate of independent curiosity. Furthermore, through the art exhibitions, theatrical performances and musical activities of its faculty, guests and students, the college plays a central role in enhancing the cultural life of the region.
Recognizing the global interdependence that is the hallmark of contemporary reality, the College of Humanities and Fine Arts also is at the forefront of the university's burgeoning international presence. With International Studies and Modern Foreign Language degrees, and supported by its faculty's long-standing leadership in both travel-study and travel-abroad programs, the college is uniquely situated to provide the practical expertise vital to advance the university's 21 st -century mission.
