The College of Arts and Sciences embodies a community of transformation that draws from the narratives and exemplars of the humanistic tradition, the university’s founding theological roots, and the studies of social and behavioral sciences. The College helps students experience and participate in the redemption of self and world, primarily through the discovery, cultivation, and use of their voice in the many aesthetic, cultural, professional, and relational contexts in which they find themselves. The mission of the College is to equip students to be knowledgeable in their field(s) of study; congruent in their integrity between professional professional preparation and personal lives; skilled in their areas of concentration; and integrated in their approach to faith and their discipline.
