Liberal Arts Studies

Liberal Arts Studies helps students understand their relationship to the world and provides them with a foundation for life-long learning. Students encounter the ideals, values, knowledge, skills and capabilities that will enable them to be moral and intellectual leaders in a pluralistic world. Addressing liberal arts is not the purview of any particular program; rather, it is a challenge to the entire academic community.

In an atmosphere that fosters excellence, the liberal arts curriculum strives to engage all students in the foundational wisdom of cultures, past and present, to develop the kind of intellectual curiosity, discipline and judgment needed to fulfill their aspirations and to meet their obligations. Siena Heights University cherishes its Catholic and Dominican heritage and expects that its graduates will embody values of these traditions as they are encountered throughout their academic experience.
