about the school of liberal arts
The essential spirit of the liberal arts — namely, the liberation of the mind and the acquisition of those habits and values that lead one to truth — animates all programs in the School of Liberal Arts. The best way to liberate the mind is to develop the ability to think carefully: to investigate, to evaluate, to communicate, and to reason. In addition to completing an undergraduate major or graduate degree in a specific academic department, liberal arts students acquire practical skills in critical thinking, written expression, logical analysis, information gathering, and interpersonal communication.
