School of Liberal Arts

The School of Liberal Arts at RSU has a long and proud tradition of offering its students a solid foundation in the arts, communication, humanities, and social sciences. 

The meaning of “liberal” in the term “liberal arts” does not refer to a political philosophy, but rather to the idea of freedom.

The study of the liberal arts is intended to free the mind from the constraints of stereotype, prejudice, ignorance and fear.

The School of Liberal Arts is committed to a traditional broad-based education in order to accomplish this task.

Today, employers are increasingly seeking students with strong liberal arts backgrounds for a variety of occupations.

Those who plan to enter Graduate School will find no better preparation than a liberal arts degree. The study of the liberal arts will provide you with a solid footing in the arts and social sciences and second-to-none preparation for your academic specialty.
