The Field

HFA offers students the rigor and individual attention of a liberal arts college with the vibrant curricular range of a major university. Our departments and majors include the core disciplines of the humanities and arts:

  • philosophy
  • history
  • literature
  • modern and classical languages and linguistics
  • visual and performing arts
  • interdisciplinary majors such as Afro-American Studies, Judaic and Near Eastern Studies, and Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies

From all of our departments go forth future artists, writers, and teachers, but also doctors, entrepreneurs, lawyers, and professionals in every field. By offering students opportunities to broaden their perspectives, apply their knowledge, and express themselves, the College of Humanities and Fine Arts prepares students to make contributions to their communities, to the workplace, and to the world.
