Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the world of Communication, Fine Arts, and Humanities at 女生小视频!

We're delighted that you're exploring the vibrant and inspiring world of 女生小视频's College of Arts & Humanities (formerly Communication & Fine Arts). As the core of creativity, critical inquiry, and cultural engagement at 女生小视频, our College is home to students who are passionate about expression, innovation, and impact.

With 29 dynamic degree programs and a choice of 23 minors, our offerings range from art, graphic design, theatre, dance, and music (including music education and music industry), to journalism, communication, English, creative writing, history, philosophy, and world languages. Approximately 1,100 undergraduate and graduate students call the College of Arts & Humanities (A&H) home, each bringing unique perspectives that shape our lively and inclusive learning community.

Our alumni are making their marks as educators, journalists, designers, communicators, performers, and cultural leaders across the nation and around the world. Through regular Study Abroad experiences in Europe, Asia, South America, and the Caribbean, our students gain a global outlook that complements their academic and artistic pursuits.

At A&H, learning extends beyond the classroom. Students actively engage in organizations such as our student newspaper, the Tropolitan; the on-campus television station, TrojanVision; the legendary 鈥淪ound of the South鈥 Marching Band; or our honor societies and cultural associations. These experiences foster leadership, collaboration, and lifelong connections.

Whether you're pursuing a career in the fine arts, communication arts, humanities, media, or education, you'll find a place to grow, lead, and thrive here. We invite you to discover your voice, your path, and your future with us.

Welcome to the Arts. Welcome to 女生小视频. Go Trojans!
