The mission of the School of Arts and
Humanities is to offer significant exposure to
language, literature and writing, communication,
and artistic expression, providing students
with the knowledge and experience necessary to
develop personal and professional skills in these
areas. The School’s dual function is to provide
courses for its own baccalaureate programs and
for the general education program in the fields
of writing, speaking, and art.
The School of Arts and Humanities offers
three Bachelor of Arts alternatives of specialization
in Art, English and Speech Communication.
In addition to the traditional majors in
English and Speech Communication, a
modified major with a collateral exists in both
majors. An English major with a concentration
in writing is also offered. The School also offers
minors in Art, English, French, Journalism,
Spanish, and Speech Communication. The
School of Arts and Humanities program
offerings are available to all campus disciplines
through service courses.
Support Goals
1. To provide a foundation in fundamentals
of writing, reading, speaking, and listening
as essential preparation for any career.
2. To provide support in program offerings
for departmental major/minor students seeking
careers in teaching, business, and media.
3. To provide service support in a variety

4. To promote departmental and campuswide
application of writing fundamentals
through a writing center.
5. To provide opportunities for aesthetic
experiences in art.
