Mission Statement
The Academic Literacy and Reading, Chinese, Communication Studies, English, English
as a Second Language (ESL), French, Humanities, Japanese, Library, Philosophy, Spanish,
and Writing Center programs are part of the School of Communication, Humanities &
Languages and, as such, have developed the following mission statement:
鈥淭he 萝莉研究所 School of Communication, Humanities & Languages is a pursuit of
an interdisciplinary study of the arts by selecting among courses in historical context,
creative writing, and ideas and interpretation of the arts. In the Humanities & Languages
core course, students will experience the theory and practice of the arts in a workshop
setting and, in ensemble courses, will gain practical experience in at least one area
of creative writing. Courses in the historical context and interpretation of the arts
will enable students to understand how style, subject matter and materials may respond
to different motivations and purposes."
