The Mission of
The College of Liberal Arts
As
part of Louisiana Tech University, the College of Liberal
Arts is committed to the University's dedication to quality
in teaching, in research and creative activity, and in public
service: First and foremost, the College of Liberal
Arts seeks to support the mission of Louisiana Tech University
in maintaining “a faculty committed to teaching and
advising, a student-oriented faculty dedicated to preparing
students to achieve their goals in a rapidly changing economic
and civic environment. . . . a faculty that will through both
theoretical and applied research and creative activities,
contribute to the development of new knowledge, new art, and
new technology.”
Specific
Goals of
The College of Liberal Arts
Through their studies, students in the
College of Liberal Arts become acquainted with many areas
of intellectual interest and acquire a thorough knowledge
of a specific field through the courses in their major field.
This liberal arts education prepares students for business
and professional careers as well as providing the basis
for a richer and better life. To bring about these
ends, The College of Liberal Arts serves both its own majors
and the University community in the following ways:
|
- it offers courses in such areas as English, history, foreign
languages, the arts, and social sciences which are required
in many of the curricula at Louisiana Tech University;
- it provides traditional humanities and arts courses for
students desiring minor fields of study, for non-traditional
students who may or may not seek a degree, and for any other
student interested in learning about various areas of liberal
arts;
- it provides pre-professional training for those students
who intend to study law and speech-language pathology or
audiology;
- it assists in the preparation of prospective teachers
who desire to major in such subjects as art, English, foreign
languages, music, social science, and speech;
- it provides specialized training for vocations in such
fields as architecture, aviation, graphic design, interior
design, journalism, music, and theatre; and
- it provides graduate training leading toward various graduate
degrees.
