The essential spirit of the liberal arts — namely, liberating the mind and acquiring the habits and values that lead one to truth — animates all programs in the School of Liberal Arts. The best way to free your mind is to learn how 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.
