The College of Arts and Humanities is comprised of seven units: the Hall School of Journalism and Communication, the John M. Long School of Music, the Department of Art and Design, the Department of English, the Department of History and Philosophy, the Department of Theatre and Dance, the Department of English and the Department of World Languages and Cultures. Combining tradition with innovation and internationalism, the College focuses on sustaining excellence in academic performance, enhancing lives, and preparing students for careers in an everchanging world.
The College maintains that the richest experiences of human beings arise from their abilities to analyze and interpret intelligently and imaginatively works of art and performances as well as the rhetoric and actions of past and present societies; to communicate effectively within a variety of contexts using the multiple languages and tools of the communication and fine arts disciplines; to make intelligent decisions in an increasingly complex and diverse, media-driven society; and to work together harmoniously in groups to accomplish established goals.
Troy University’s College of Arts and Humanities is a primary provider of cultural events benefiting the citizens of Troy, Pike County, the region, and the state. Accordingly, the College offers events as art exhibitions, recitals, concerts, lectures, symposia, and dance and theatrical performances. In addition, the College maintains strong community partnerships with the City of Troy, Johnson Cultural Arts Center, Troy Arts Council, and the Wiregrass Museum of Art.
Actively involved in community engagement, the College offers a variety of lectures, workshops, master classes, and camps for middle school, high school and college students throughout the state in art, theatre, dance, music and journalism. Our overarching vision is to be Alabama’s institutional leader in advancing arts and humanities education and achievement.
