Discover: |
Students engaged with the Liberal Arts explore the world of ideas, values, and consequences. They discover the complexities of cultures and institutions; they investigate structures of meaning and authority; and they map the understandings they are achieving.
|
|
|
Examine: |
Liberal Arts students develop the ability to think critically, to communicate effectively, to organize and analyze, to conduct research, to work as members of a team, to solve problems, and to value civility. With these tools, a student has the ability to examine assumptions freshly and to think outside artificial boundaries on ideas. |
|
|
Participate: |
Students in the Liberal Arts are actively engaged in shaping their own learning, whether through classroom engagement, the construction of independent study courses, involvement with student organizations and projects, or study abroad experience.
|
|
|
Contribute: |
Students in the College of Liberal Arts may collaborate with a professor on a research project, present research on campus or at a national conference, or publish creative or scholarly work in a campus magazine or journal. A growing number of students engage in internships, service learning, and civic engagement projects. |
|
|
Live: |
An education in the Liberal Arts affects the quality of your entire life. It liberates your mind, provides the power of choice, and proves eminently useful. The skills and competencies that graduates acquire prove appropriate to varying job settings, for students develop along with their intellectual abilities the attributes of self-reliance and initiative. In learning to recognize and understand differences in cultures and perspectives, Liberal Arts graduates prepare themselves to live and work in a complex metropolitan setting, in a multicultural nation, and in a globally interconnected world. |

When
it comes to covering the real cost of a student’s education, tuition and
state assistance are only the beginning. To experience the enriching
activities that define the best colleges and universities, our students
must rely on your generosity. It is only through the combined resources
of tuition, state support and private contributions that Towson
University can help its students develop their full potential.
The College of Liberal Arts at Towson University continues to develop
new opportunities for students even as it respects the educational
traditions of Towson. As the faculty works to integrate ever-changing
technologies into instruction, we will never forget the essential
importance of face-to-face interaction and faculty engagement with
students. As the new CLA building emerges on the campus, we have
maintained and will maintain our commitment to classes of reasonable
size allowing easy interaction. And as we strive to remain responsive
to the changing needs of the metropolitan region, we will also remember
the intellectual objectives and individual capacities associated with
liberal learning that are fundamental to nearly all parts of evolving
occupational demands as well as to a healthy democratic society.
