About

Program Description

For the student in search of a broad education rather than for training in a particular occupation,
the Liberal Arts Department offers a rewarding degree program. A Liberal Arts degree prepares
students for many kinds of careers because the coursework gives them the skills, knowledge,
and perspectives needed to succeed. The program consists of two years of studies in the different
branches of Social Science, Humanities, and Fine Arts. After graduating with this degree, a
student is better prepared to enter the work force or transfer into a bachelor’s degree program for
further studies.
 
We believe that a good education empowers people and that empowered individuals promote
positive social change. We want our students to acquire academic skills along with increased
self-awareness. The department offers a variety of courses designed to spark imagination, creativity,
and curiosity. The Liberal Arts Department is also strongly committed to integrating Native
American history, culture, and viewpoint into all classes. Liberal Arts majors graduate with a better
understanding of themselves, their community, and their place in the world.
