College of Humanities & Fine Arts, CSU, Chico
College of Humanities and Fine Arts
This is the college that houses the original disciplines—the humanities, philosophy and English, music and theatre, history and foreign languages, with religious studies. We also have many tracks that lead right into careers: interior design, recording arts, music industry, high school teaching, editing and publishing, and more.
Our students often talk about how active they are at Chico State—working in the scene shop, tutoring in the Writing Center, taking part in debates about ethics, helping publish a book or writing for that book, performing on stage, and taking part in a language hour, whether Spanish or Japanese. Faculty, staff, and students form a powerful learning community that makes going to school enriching, ennobling, and energizing.
Even if you are not one of our majors, you will take many of our classes as part of your first year (and second year), so welcome!
