Innovators of Today and Tomorrow

The College of Liberal Arts – communication, humanities, history, culture, and social sciences – excels at transforming students into communicators, leaders, and innovative problem solvers. Our programs are at the heart of the St. Cloud State University to "prepare students for life, work and citizenship in the twenty-first century."

Our faculty instill and encourage research, travel, and intellectual curiosity and are responsive to each student's uniqueness. Students graduate with a passion for service and a deep understanding of the arts and humanities they can carry into their workplace and communities.
