The mission of the School of Arts and Sciences is to provide a dynamic education that nurtures and stimulates intellectual growth and a greater understanding of our diverse communities. With cross-disciplinary curricula in the arts, humanities, and behavioral, natural and social sciences, the school utilizes innovative curricula, pedagogy, and technologies to foster scholar-practitioners who value ethics and service to others. 

Taught by scholar-practitioners who are experts in their fields, our programs combine real-world application with research and theory-based practices. Many degree programs offer multiple emphasis options to align your professional goals with your learning experience, such as the Bachelor of Arts in Applied Studies, which allows you to design your own curriculum based on your work experience, interests, and future goals.
