Who we are
The College of Arts is an interdisciplinary and transformative community, offering a robust intellectual foundation through the exploration of ideas and issues in the liberal arts tradition. We guide students through vital discoveries that change their understanding of the past and prepare them for the challenges of the future.
The College of Arts is home to the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences and includes 14 academic departments and schools. Our faculty complement is comprised of approximately 130 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, and approximately 145 active sessional and limited-term instructors. We serve over 3,000 students each year, in classes offered in person on the Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses, and online. We share a passion for learning and for making a difference in the world.
