We’re the college for students seeking unlimited options with unwavering support. Visiting the College of the Liberal Arts—whether in person or virtually—will give you an opportunity to learn more about our nearly fifty majors, out-of-classroom opportunities, and student support resources. 

To get a glimpse at what it feels and looks like to be a Liberal Arts student, please schedule an on-campus meeting. If you are not able to visit in person, please schedule a virtual meeting.  

In addition to meeting with our recruitment team, you’ll get to talk with a current Liberal Arts student who can give you their perspective on academics, out-of-classroom opportunities, and student life in the College of the Liberal Arts.
