Centers and Initiatives

The Institute of Arts and Humanities houses interdisciplinary centers and affiliate groups that spearhead the production of cutting‐edge scholarship, collaboration, and public engagement. 

Analytical Writing Program 

The Analytical Writing Program (AWP) offers courses that employ a student-centered philosophy. Every class discussion and assignment is designed with the idea of helping students grow as writers. AWP creates an environment in which a diverse population of students can come together as a community to work on a common goal: improving their writing.
