Message from the Dean
 The
College of Liberal & Applied Arts at Stephen F. Austin State
University is a community of educators and students working
together to promote learning through service to society. This
means that our students are being prepared to develop skills
that have real-life applications. Our commitment is to deliver
an education that combines intellectual with practical approaches
toward knowledge.
Since
the job market of the future will be different in unknown ways,
students must be equipped to make connections between bodies
of information, to interact in an international environment,
and to shift seamlessly from one career to another. We have
shaped our curriculum to accomplish these goals. Our students
are provided opportunities to become engaged with the community,
conduct coursework with overseas universities, and examine knowledge
across the disciplines. In the process, we are creating scholars
who have professional credentials. It’s an education designed
for the 21st century.
Our faculty, in many cases, have international reputations but all are dedicated
to a student-first philosophy. We take advising seriously, from
course selection to career planning. The College’s current
focus is the creation of specialized programs that will make
our students stand out. We are building a reputation of which
our graduates will be proud. The College of Liberal & Applied
Arts at SFA is quickly becoming the place to be in order to
achieve success across a lifetime.
We invite
you to visit or contact us to explore possibilities. Our mission
is to be a resource not only for students but for the community
at-large. We are always open to new ideas and opportunities.
Dean
