The College of Liberal Arts invites you to take a look at our programs in anthropology, criminal justice, digital technology and culture, English, fine arts, foreign languages and culture, history, psychology, public affairs, sociology, and women’s studies. Our faculty are outstanding researchers and award-winning teachers, and are committed to the public service mission of our land grant university.

Though diverse in our interests, Liberal Arts faculty embrace a common set of core values, which we nurture in our students. Students in our programs are encouraged to understand multiple perspectives, to analyze data and tackle complex questions, to be creative and challenge accepted paradigms, and to communicate clearly and ethically.

The Liberal Arts are more relevant than ever in our global, diverse, and fast-changing world. Our programs provide the building blocks for success in any career and important life skills for citizens of the 21st century. Welcome!
