The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is dedicated to the ideal of a liberal arts education. Intellectually and administratively, its liberal arts mission at the undergraduate level is connected to graduate programs within the college and the university. The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences offers two graduate programs leading to the master's degree and two graduate certificate programs. These are the master of fine arts (MFA) in creative writing, the master of music (MM), a certificate of graduate study in Composing Together, and a certificate of graduate study in Food Studies. The faculty of the College's graduate programs are committed to the preservation and dissemination of fundamental knowledge and dedicated to enhancing this knowledge through creative expression, scholarly interpretation, and research. All of our graduate programs instill in students general attributes such as critical thinking, effective oral and written communication, and creative expression, but this general educational mission is linked to professional achievement.
