A Message From the Dean

Greetings to all Hamptonians—past, present, and future. It is my pleasure to extend words of welcome on behalf of the School of Liberal Arts. Ours is the primary liberal education unit for the Hampton University Undergraduate College. The School provides quality preparation for our students who desire to enter the job market, go into the military, or attend graduate and professional school. Explore our many areas of academic and extracurricular programs. In keeping with Hampton University’s mission of providing students with an education for life, it is our mission to immerse you in the world of learning and sharing that knowledge with the world.

Mission Statement

The School of Liberal Arts is the cornerstone of the strong and progressive schools that comprise the Hampton University Undergraduate College. The School is committed to providing a comprehensive immersion in the fundamentals of learning that are the core of personal and professional growth for our diverse student body.

Student growth is fostered primarily through the deepening and enhancing of oral and written expression, the developing and honing of critical thinking, and the infusing of students with an appreciation and command of the global history of human thought and expression.

The School envisions graduates who have been well prepared for leadership roles in moral and scholarly aspects of their private, professional and public lives, and as a result, are best able to participate in the advancement and improvement of the human condition.
