School of Liberal Arts

If you like to write, paint, sing, play an instrument, draw, or speak before an audience, or if you are interested in careers in law, politics, foreign policy, public administration and history, the School of Liberal Arts is the right place for you. This school offers degrees in art, English, foreign language, history, journalism, liberal arts, music, political science, and communication.

After two years at our college and then two more years at a senior college or university, you can take on the world as a graphic artist, television or radio newscaster, photographer, musician, newspaper editor, English teacher, or international business linguist. Or you might choose the history major as preparation for a career in business, law, or theology. Law is also a career choice for political science majors who can aim for positions in politics, foreign policy, and public administration.

Abraham Baldwin professors encourage you to take advantage of frequent student-faculty conferences, student editing groups, and numerous writing projects, which may include writing for Pegasus, our nationally acclaimed literary magazine. Putting your ideas on paper is a skill you’ll need the rest of your life.

Foreign language majors who choose teaching should find jobs available in the state because of the shortage of instructors. Journalism majors enjoy practical writing experience with the college’s award-winning student newspaper, The Stallion.

Individual attention and specialized laboratory instruction await you in the music program. You’ll also have the chance to exhibit your talents in one of the college’s many performing groups.

Spacious facilities include an electronic piano lab, a 500-seat performing arts auditorium, studios for art and ceramics, a campus radio station, a television studio, a music building, and an art gallery.

If you have an interest in international affairs, you can also be involved with the International club and get to interact and learn about many different cultures. Those who want to be future leaders of the state or country can get a head start with the Political Science club and have their first chance to visit the State capitol and meet with the legislature.
