Exploring Ideas. Empowering Futures.

At the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences (CLASS), we bring together diverse fields of study that shape how we understand humanity, society, and the world. Our four divisions provide students with knowledge, skills, and experiences that prepare them to lead, create, and inspire.

Humanities

Understanding the human experience.

From philosophy and history to literature and culture, our Humanities division helps students explore what it means to be human. By studying ideas, ethics, creativity, and traditions across time and place, students gain critical insights and build analytical skills that prepare them for meaningful careers.

Social Sciences

Studying people and society.

Investigate and analyze the world’s complexities—preparing for careers in research, policy, advocacy, business, education, or public service.

Communication, Media & Performance

The art of expression and connection.

This division bridges creativity, technology, and performance. Students learn to communicate ideas, engage audiences, and express culture through media, theatre, dance, and communication studies. They graduate ready to thrive in industries where storytelling, performance, and digital communication drive impact.

School of Applied Liberal Arts

Education that adapts to you.

The Applied School of Liberal Arts provides flexible, interdisciplinary pathways for students to design their own educational journey. With applied majors and customizable degree options, students connect liberal arts learning to their career goals—whether in business, nonprofits, government, or creative industries.

At CLASS, we don’t just teach subjects—we cultivate curiosity, empathy, and innovation. Explore your path, discover your passion, and prepare to make a difference in today’s evolving world.
