The Arts and Humanities faculty is dedicated to providing the highest quality interdisciplinary education to undergraduates and it has developed a curriculum that maintains the best standards and strengths of traditional disciplines while offering student-centered instruction of contemporary significance. Programs offered by this faculty are Studies in the Arts (Performing and Visual), Communicati
on Studies, Historical Studies, Literature, Languages and Culture Studies, and Philosophy and Religion, and at the Graduate level, the Master of Arts Program in American Studies (MAAS). Students are encouraged to pursue individualized learning experiences, and all majors are expected to demonstrate their personal accomplishment in a senior-year project involving a research thesis in the humanities or a public presentation in the arts. Seminars, colloquia, and artistic presentations complement the curriculum by emphasizing the need for cross-disciplinary approaches to comprehending human complexities and enjoying creative endeavors. Supporting physical facilities include art, dance, and music studios; a state of the art Communications video-editing lab and studio; an art gallery, an electric piano lab, a creative writing lab, and the resources of the Performing Arts Center. The facility includes studio spaces for painting, printmaking, graphic design, photography, computer graphics, and sculpture, as well as a woodshop and independent work areas. Each studio has been designed to provide optimum conditions for the production of art with emphasis on safety and the environment. All the programs in Arts and Humanities are supported by extensive library and media resources. The Master of Arts Program in American Studies (MAAS) which makes its home in the School of Arts and Humanities asks what it means to be “American.” It interrogates the forces that hold Americans together, while also recognizing that “America” has always been a contested category whose meaning has changed over time. The American Studies program also builds on Stockton University’s long-standing commitment to interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship. The program’s faculty members are respected scholars in traditional disciplines, such as literature, history, art history, and communications, as well as interdisciplinary fields, including Latin American and Caribbean studies, women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, Native American studies, Africana studies, Jewish studies, postcolonial studies, and studies of American culture and the environment.

Check out Professor Olson's Spotlight Story to learn more about his travels in France this past fall! Dr. Olson, Professor of French, spent his sabbatical researching maps and other documents in French archives to prepare for his next publication - a book all about Michelin and how the company created guides and roadmaps in the 1900s, but the paths weren't quite as clear as they were pictured to be.
Congratulations 👏 to ARHU Theatre faculty member, David Reiser, for winning the Faculty Unsung Hero Award, and to PAC Tech Coordinator, Dan Wright, for winning the Staff Community Engagement Award at the Osprey Awards!

🎉 Congratulations to senior dance student, Logan Reber, who will soon be interning with the renowned Bates Dance Festival!
"After graduating from the Stockton Dance Program, I will be working as a Technical Production Intern at the Bates Dance Festival. Here I will work with a variety of dance artists and continue learning about the skills it takes to produce dance productions. In my freshman year, my professors recognized the skill set I had and tailored my education so I could learn about this area of dance. I am forever grateful for my professors, Beau Hancock, Caitlin Pittenger, Lauren Putty White, Rain Ross, and Justin Maciejewski, for teaching me everything I need to know for this next chapter."
