College of Civic & Liberal Arts

Outside of a building

The College of Civic & Liberal Arts prepares students for lives of engaging and purposeful citizenship and provides programs that foster empathy, critical thinking, and collaborative work.

CCLA is the largest college at Tusculum University and houses eight majors, seven Associate degree concentrations, sixteen minors, four academic departments, Arts Outreach, the Center for the Arts, Honors, and Museums at Tusculum.

Every year, CCLA hosts and co-hosts an exciting array of events, including the Cicero Lecture, theme week (e.g. Holocaust Remembrance and Celebrating Diversity Week), the African American Read-in, and the honors ceremony.

Our faculty don’t just prepare students for a job; we prepare students for any job, just as degrees in the humanities, fine arts, and social sciences are supposed to. We prepare you to think for yourselves and to navigate the unknown
 
Our students publish creative and scholarly work regularly. Our students work for an international literary review and run an art gallery. Our students design Ford Mustangs. Our students intern at nonprofits, at law offices, and with D.C. politicians. Our students travel to Austria, Barcelona, Iceland, Ireland, and London.

Our students become award-winning authors, international journalists, Hollywood actors, lawyers, law professors, teachers, professors, librarians, editors, journalists, politicians, FBI agents, police officers, historians, advertisers, designers, and even undertakers.
