Dean's Message:
In a world that is heading towards materialism, we, the people of liberal studies, try to make it more humanitarian and philosophical. You’ll discover, as a student of the liberal arts, a whole new way of looking at the world with a passion to work for sustainable prosperity. A Liberal Arts degree encourages critical thinking, originality, and creativity, all of which are sought after, by employers. Because of their rarity, employers want to hang on to the creative initiatives and problem-solving talents of emerging social scientists. Values never go out of style; a liberal arts degree is becoming increasingly useful to employers even though more and more jobs are being shelled out by technology. Such exclusive talents that liberal arts serve cannot be showcased by machines.
We offer multidisciplinary education to prepare administrators, academicians, pioneers, artists, etc., to meet the requirements of the modern world. Our aim is to prepare students to face real-world challenges in a pragmatic and sensible manner.
