Department of Liberal Arts

Mission & Vision 

Mission

The Department of Liberal Arts LSU Eunice is focused on the education of freshman and sophomore students.  We intend to teach students to think critically and independently with the hope that graduates contribute to and excel in their personal and community lives through advanced academic and cultural competency. This imparts broad knowledge and encourages the development of general intellectual capacities.  Further, we include professional development through several areas of applied study and provide developmental education in English.  We assist the entire campus by providing general education courses that support all associate degrees earned at LSU Eunice. We are dedicated to supporting students in obtaining an Associate Degree in multiple areas of concentration and in their successful transition into a four-year college or the workplace.

Vision
