Welcome to the Center for the Liberal Arts home page! Established in June of 1996, this center serves as an advocate for the liberal arts disciplines and interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary programs housed in the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences. These programs encompass the humanities and fine arts, the natural sciences and mathematics, and the social sciences. Interdisciplinary programs enable students to integrate these disciplines.
The center's primary mission involves educational outreach to both persons at East Carolina and outside of the university--outreach that promotes the liberal arts in three ways.
-
The center educates and informs through its publications about the liberal arts in the College.
-
The center reaches out to the academic community at East Carolina as well as to those in the communities outside the university, particularly to eastern North Carolina. The activities organized by the center provide cultural and professional enrichment.
-
The center establishes opportunities for the professional development of students majoring and minoring in the liberal arts disciplines and/or interdisciplinary programs in the College.
Support the activities and goals of the Center for the Liberal Arts at East Carolina University.
