CSU, Chico's College of Humanities and Fine Arts

Welcome to the Home Page of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts. See all our majors listed on the left.

We are also home to the Janet Turner Print Museum, the Humanities Center, and the Center for Applied and Professional Ethics, as well as the School of the Arts.

We are delighted that you are thinking about Chico State or one of our majors. We offer intellectually rigorous programs, stimulating dialogue between faculty and students, a wide range of performing opportunities, rich cultural experiences, and challenging environments, a London Semester program, and many different internships.

Our current students speak often about how active they can be in their programs — working in the scene shop, tutoring students in English, taking part in ethical debates, playing in one of several musical ensembles or singing in a choir, taking part in a foreign language conversation hour, or helping publish a journal of student work. These opportunities, situated on one of the most beautiful campuses in California in one of the last "college towns," makes the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at Chico State the place to be!

You can click the highlights above or check the menu on the left for more information. We would love to talk to you, so please feel free to call!

MISSION STATEMENT

Faculty and students of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts explore the arts, ideas, languages, literatures and history of civilization to understand ourselves and others, and the cultures in which we live.

We use the particular methods and backgrounds of our varied disciplines individually and in concert, to 1) promote open and honest inquiry into human nature and institutions; 2) foster a life-long ability and desire to think critically and creatively about the issues which face citizens of a modern democracy; 3) acquire the broad knowledge of history and culture that provides context and perspective for critical thinking; and 4) understand and appreciate the means of artistic and rhetorical expression that allow articulate and meaningful communication between people.
