School of Arts, Humanities and Letters
Why study the arts and humanities? 
The School of Arts, Humanities and Letters takes an explicitly values-based approach to the liberal arts. We work to develop and nourish the rational, affective and spiritual dimensions of the whole person. We cultivate the student's interpersonal, expressive and interactive abilities. We activate and intensify the student's commitment to service, vocation, human dignity and diversity; and heighten the student's appreciation of continuity, innovation and global community.
The School of Arts, Humanities and Letters grants degrees in 16 academic areas. Through the Art; Communication; Cultural, Media and Gender Studies; English; Foreign Language; History; Interdisciplinary Studies; Leadership; Music; Philosophy; Theatre; and Theology Departments, we extend and deepen our commitment to the mission of the University.
