School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
The College at Brockport’s School of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences offers students programs that engage the mind, body, and spirit. Our students are challenged "to think" and "to do,” so that theory comes alive in an array of experiences such as media production; public communication and debate; written publications; dance, music and theatre performances; visual art exhibits; and public outreach. They perform in recently enhanced theaters and dance facilities, create in our spacious art and digital broadcast studios and collaborate in writing workshops and computer labs.
Our faculty’s passion and expertise is recognized nationwide. Professors have accumulated honors including Broadway's Tony Award, the State University of New York’s prestigious Distinguished Professor and Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching honors, Fulbright Scholar Exchanges, and major national grants.
These gifted faculty members mentor as well as teach by working alongside students in a collaborative environment of discovery and achievement. This fosters an atmosphere of dedication to research, hands-on creativity, performance and critical intellectual enterprise.
We move those experiences beyond the walls of the classroom, where there are gems waiting to be discovered. Students can explore a field experience in Anthropology, a semester in Washington, DC through the Political Science and International Studies Department, intensive language immersion through study abroad programs or a wide variety of internships. Our Writer’s Forum and Philosophic Exchange brings the world’s finest writers and thinkers to our campus. Our affiliations with world-class organizations such as Garth Fagan Dance, Visual Studies Workshop, Geva Theatre and Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra bring students together with some of the brightest and most creative minds in their fields.
Students graduate from the college ready to turn theory into practice and truly educated in a liberal context: embracing a multi-dimensional focus on the world, on its history, on what has been written and what is currently being expressed. Graduates go on to exciting careers as artists, journalists, dancers, sociologists, teachers, theater specialists, officials of government or broadcast journalists, or continue their education in graduate schools nationwide.
