We push our students to think deeply and broadly—to integrate ideas from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences—in ways that lead to innovation and prepare us for the challenges of tomorrow.
Experience the world as your classroom. Rather than picking things up from books and the Internet, navigating a new landscape will open your eyes to culture, history, a new language, or your heritage.

UTEP Liberal Arts graduates acquire essential skills that provide a competitive edge in professional careers:
