A Solid Foundation

Liberal Arts is everything you (and future employers) care about most:

  • Writing and speaking with confidence and skill
  • Critical thinking
  • Quantitative skills and data analysis
  • Celebrating human expression 
  • Leading others through complex moral and ethical situations
  • Engaging the power of your citizenship
  • Discovering solutions to the pressing issues facing our world

Can you make a living doing what you love? You bet! College of Liberal Arts alumni are working in every field, including business, medicine, media and communications, STEM, education, government, law, community services/non-profits, and many others.

Studying liberal arts isn’t learning a trade. It’s trading on what you’ve learned to launch a career that inspires you.
