More than a diploma
Our world is complex, and the most successful people have a broad understanding of people, relationships, places, processes and systems. In our liberal arts core curriculum, you will learn about the world and how things connect.
Most degrees have an element of hands-on experience integrated into the requirements. Research, internships, practicums and job shadowing are part of the curriculum.
Cross-cultural study prepares you for our diverse and complex world by giving you an opportunity to learn from others with different life experiences.
Liberal arts education prepares you for more than just a job. It prepares you for life. You’ll learn art, history, science, religion, communication skills and critical thinking and apply these to the field of your choice. Unique co-curriculars like convocation and the academic and creative excellence festival will prepare you to listen and communicate complex ideas to others.
The most successful employees and leaders can work with diverse people, understand complex ideas and communicate effectively. Our core curriculum and intercultural requirements will help you develop these important skills.
