The School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences provides intellectual, cultural, and professional development through small classes and a liberal arts setting. Many of our students go on to graduate or professional study or to teach in one of the many disciplines covered in the School.
Students within the School major in interdisciplinary studies, liberal studies, social justice and criminology, humanities and social sciences, and the visual and performing arts. Minor fields of study offered in the School include Art, Music, Criminal Justice and Criminology, English, Geography, History, Philosophy, Pre-law, Spanish, and Sociology. The School also serves to introduce those majoring in other academic areas to the various areas including many general education courses.
Each of the programs offered in the School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is designed to provide a well-rounded education. Small program and class sizes, as well as dedicated and active professors, mean that all students get the individualized instruction they need. The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Criminology degree, for example, is for students who are interested in the professions of law enforcement, corrections, or juvenile justice, and is available with a major in social sciences and concentrations in applied development studies, geography, and sociology. The degrees offered in the School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences are particularly recommended for students contemplating graduate work in one of the disciplines, education, or law.
