Through close reading, discussion, academic writing and independent research, they develop the ability to think critically, build evidence-based arguments and understand political and social issues in context. This rigorous liberal arts foundation prepares graduates both for advanced study and for a changing professional environment where intellectual independence, clarity of expression and sound judgment matter.
