College of Liberal Arts
 The
largest of Towson’s colleges, the College of Liberal Arts includes the
disciplines commonly identified with the Humanities and the Social
Sciences as well as a robust array of interdisciplinary programs.
Because it contains many of the core disciplines of higher education,
the College also contributes heavily to the General Education course
offerings of the university.
Departments and programs in the College of
Liberal Arts are committed to developing in students the essential
attributes of a liberal education: the ability to develop questions, to
evaluate evidence, to think critically, to represent ideas fairly, to
weigh competing claims, to reach sound judgments, to construct
arguments, and to express ideas clearly and effectively. Students
encounter the challenges of working with others and the reality of
differences between cultures—locally, nationally, and globally—and they
build an appreciation for the complexities of human expression and
social interaction.
 The College of Liberal Arts maintains classes of
limited size to enhance student-faculty interaction, and it promotes a
variety of opportunities for undergraduates in research, internships,
service learning, study abroad, and creative expression. Whether
studying the technical or the poetic, the legal or the historical, the
clinical or the cultural, students in the College of Liberal Arts will
enhance their capacities for both personal and professional success.
Graduates may move toward immediate employment in teaching, planning,
publishing, counseling, business, or public service, or they may pursue
graduate programs in a variety of disciplines and in professions such as
law.
