STRATEGIC PLAN

“Perks” are special benefits for someone in a specific group. Arts and humanities degrees are perks for people on the job market. Students are at an advantage because employers know that arts and humanities graduates excel in the most important areas: creative problem-solving, communication, teamwork and leadership, facility with digital technology, work ethic, and global fluency.

To continue providing quality academic programs, the College of Arts and Humanities has developed a strategic plan organized by P.E.R.C.
