College of Liberal Arts
The College of Liberal Arts and its embedded School of the Arts (SotA) offers an array of courses of study in the arts, humanities and the social sciences. As the principal provider to St. Cloud State's Liberal Education Program, the College and School touch the lives of nearly every student seeking an undergraduate degree. Through a variety of learning opportunities -- be it in a classroom or in the community -- we provide students with the ability to make a difference in the world today and into the future.
View the College's latest publication, "The Letter," to learn how faculty, staff and students are making that difference.
You'll find very few students who haven't dipped into our liberal arts programs sometime during their campus careers.
