Welcome from the Dean

Welcome to the College of Social Science, Performing Arts, and Communication. (SSPAC). SSPAC fosters critical thinking, creative expression, and intellectual curiosity. In classrooms, studios, and on stage, students are prepared for a variety of careers, and are equipped to prosper in the future. We value quality education and are committed to academic success. Faculty and staff are dedicated to providing students with the educational tools that will enable them to become the leaders of tomorrow. Each program provides students with a challenging curriculum where students learn the skills that employers demand, such as teamwork, and effective written and oral communication. Whatever program of study a student chooses, he/she will have the opportunity to develop the tools needed to understand the world, to contribute to knowledge about the world, and to make the world a better place. We invite you to come see our programs, our students, and our faculty.
