ACADEMICS
The College of Arts and Humanities combines an innovative liberal arts education with practical career skills that last a lifetime.
The arts and humanities are the study of what it means to be human, and their products are the channels through which we deliver the stories and ideas that express our humanity. Through nearly 100 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs, we connect students with world-class faculty who investigate and teach literary, artistic and cultural history. Through the process, students develop creativity, critical and analytical thinking, problem solving and communications skills—qualities crucial for a career and for life. ARHU also offers minor programs in the arts and humanities along with the only Persian Flagship Program in the United States.
