Liberal Arts Foundation

Our academic foundation is deeply rooted in the liberal arts, equipping graduates with essential skills such as critical thinking, discerning argumentation, quantitative reasoning, and effective communication. This strong foundation is complemented by a diverse range of major programs, allowing students to delve into their chosen fields of study, often pursuing double majors or combining a major with a minor for a well-rounded education.
