Helping lifelong learners start their career

Courses in the liberal arts are designed to teach you the in-demand skills of communication, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving and reasoning. By selecting coursework in the areas of Humanities, Social Sciences, Education or the Arts you will be challenged to develop and utilize these transferable skills in the classroom or internship opportunities focused your area of study.
