32 TOWSON UNIVERSITY | 2018 Spring Commencement 2018 Spring Commencement | TOWSON UNIVERSITY 33 COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS

The Departments and Programs of the College of Liberal Arts explore what it means to be human, how people construct identities and institutions, and how individuals and groups interact over time—in communities, in cultures, and in nations.

The College includes those disciplines customarily identified as the Humanities and those generally identified as the Social Sciences, with each departmental discipline having a developed set of questions, methods, and results.

The College of Liberal Arts also hosts a variety of interdisciplinary programs that frame their studies, not by discipline but by topic, bringing to bear the insights of multiple disciplinary tools and perspectives.
