An education that equips you for meaningful work and lifelong growth.
The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences offers academic programs of enduring relevance to meet the challenges of a complex and increasingly global world. Rooted in a Wesleyan understanding of human nature, grace, and Christ-centered living, the courses of study within the College seek to equip students to critically and creatively solve problems, communicate effectively, work with diverse groups, and engage culture, community, and language around the world. Through rigorous academic inquiry and faith-learning integration, students are prepared for lifelong learning, transformative work, and service to others.
An education that connects your calling with a changing world.
Professional careers don’t follow a single path—and your education shouldn’t either. At Asbury, you don’t have to choose between passion and practicality. By combining the humanities, art and design, and social sciences with other professional programs, such as media, business, or science, you open new possibilities for doing vital work within different professional fields over the course of your life.
From the classroom to the world, discover what sets an Asbury education apart.
