ABOUT SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS
What's your passion? The School of Liberal Arts (SLA) offers courses that span a diversity of interests – from cognition and neuroscience to legal studies, world history and English literature.
Along with a multi-disciplinary approach to learning, SLA faculty have a passion for helping students create indelible bachelor’s degree capstone experiences – real-world internships and service projects that put academic theories to practice.
Past capstone experiences have included a legal studies major who worked in the Georgia Legislature, an English major who wrote for the local newspaper and a political science major who interned in the Georgia Governor's office.
