Why Liberal Arts?

The liberal arts cover a wide range of academic disciplines that develop critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills. Whether you’re drawn to the Humanities—which explore human culture, ideas, and expression through subjects like literature, philosophy, history, and writing—or the Social Sciences, which examine human behavior and societies through fields like communication, psychology, criminal justice, sociology, political science, and anthropology, a liberal arts education equips you with the ability to think independently, analyze complex issues, and communicate effectively—skills that are highly valued by employers.
