Liberal Arts Division

Sections:

The Liberal Arts Division at College of DuPage offers students a comprehensive foundation for professional and intellectual development. Through offerings in Humanities/Speech Communication, English/ESL and Fine and Applied Arts, and developmental education, courses of study in Liberal Arts help students transcend cultural differences, champion curiosity and respectful inquiry, and explore various forms of spiritual and creative expression. Liberal Arts Study Abroad programs in language provide authentic cultural contexts for learning, and performance venues in the McAninch Arts Center provide many opportunities for aesthetic expression and interaction with community.

We invite you to explore the challenges and rewards of studying in the Liberal Arts.
