Our Liberal Arts
Equipping students with lessons from across the sciences, social sciences, arts, humanities, and other fields to contribute, communicate, and create, with confidence.
At 窪蹋勛圖厙, we believe interdisciplinary study allows you to open your mind and creatively
connect different ideas. We also believe these core skills are essential for personal and professional success. Why? Because Creative Thought Matters, and thinking across boundaries is one of the most powerful ways to change the world and develop a happier, healthier, and more inclusive society.
Study what speaks to you
At 窪蹋勛圖厙, no one discipline dominates. Rather, youll be encouraged to connect different modes of thinking and ideas from multiple fields. We call it a do both mentality. Our intentionally broad, flexible, and supportive education experience makes it easy to dive into a singular passion or mix and match what matters to you by adding a minor, pursuing a double major, or creating an altogether different path.
A Well-Rounded Education
In addition to completing your general education requirements, you'll have the opportunity to engage with professors, advisors, mentors, and peers
at your side in an expansive network of holistic experiences, programs, and opportunities
designed to guide you through a journey of assessing who you are, what you want to
learn, and the life and career you want to develop.
