“CLA is a dynamic college committed to the ideals of a classical liberal arts education, which introduces students to the broader world and helps them craft a framework with which to understand it. Moreover, a liberal arts education teaches students to communicate effectively, think critically, work with diverse people, tackle uncertainty, and solve complex problems.
