Our goal is to inspire and teach students how to think for themselves both critically and creatively. Students gain in Humanities, Social Sciences, and Communication courses the capacity for making sound judgments on the basis of valid information and the tools to be effective writers and speakers. Overall, our goal is to prepare students for active and meaningful participation in their professions and in their communities.
