College of Humanities and Fine Arts
To think, to create, to question, to do: These are the hallmarks of an education from the College of Humanities and Fine Arts. Our seven departments are dedicated to the power of arts and ideas and the importance of imaginative and collaborative work.
Build new insights into the world around you and learn to write and speak clearly about what you discover. The skills you’ll build here are as old as civilization itself—and just as relevant in the 21st century to whatever career you pursue.
While our graduates build careers in fields as diverse as law and medicine, art and business, each is imbued with the ability to contribute to the common good in a complex world.
