Relevant high–quality education, supported by problem-oriented, inter-disciplinary, and inter-institutional research, is the only means of leading any society to become an active partner in human civilization development. The speed of globalization and the collapse of cultural and economic barriers require modern education, e-learning, and interactive systems rooted in democratic interaction, human rights, complete freedom of thought, and greater creativity by the younger sectors of society.

The faculty of the College of Humanities and Sciences teach both in its major programs and the Hallmarks Program for General Education, supporting the education of professionals with an awareness of all the national and global issues that impact their professional and personal lives. To thrive in a world that prizes information and those that can use it well, students gain vital communication and presentation skills and learn to develop, analyze, and apply information to address key policy issues at the national and global scale. Hands-on experiential learning brings students directly into contact with professional practices and organizations in ways that allow them to draw upon and contribute to their University, municipal and national communities.
