By the Numbers
A note from THE DEAN
Departments and Programs
The new College of Arts and Humanities is at the core of the “high seminary of learning” originally imagined by Thomas Green Clemson. This year, that core became more visually stunning with the completion of the Daniel Hall Renovation and Expansion in the heart of campus to welcome Clemson’s largest-ever student body. As I met with our students, faculty and staff to set the path forward, four pillars emerged that distill the essence of what we contribute to the broader Clemson community: writing, pre-law, ethics and a special student experience. Writing is in our DNA, whether it be the Department of English or Languages, or any of the other humanities disciplines. Our Writing Lab, the Pearce Center for Professional Communication and the new Professional Communication and Information Design cluster of courses work together to ensure that all Clemson students are equipped to communicate effectively and articulate their ideas coherently. No matter the field, leadership requires excellent writing skills. Pre-law speaks to the age-old question of what to do with a humanities degree. The legal field has long been a place where humanities students thrive. With a strong network of successful alumni, the University’s only pre- law advisor, innovative legal education programs in History and Philosophy and extra-curricular activities like moot court and mock trial, our College is positioned to lead the way for Clemson students interested in the legal profession. Ethics , housed in our Department of Philosophy and Religion, is an essential component of everything we think and do. At a time of rapid change, we must prepare students to consider ethical standards a facet of innovation as artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering and technological transformation break through barriers previously unimaginable.

Student experience aligns with Clemson Elevate, the University’s ambitious new strategic plan. More times than I can count, students from all over Clemson have shared with me the joy and fulfillment they feel in performing arts groups such as Tiger Band. Reading and discussing literature in English classes, studying film in World Cinema, reflecting on eternal questions of philosophy and religion – these open thrilling new vistas and realms. Students and faculty engage in deeply enriching conversations that give meaning to the phrase, “There’s something in these hills.” Yet others describe singing in choir or playing in one of the many ensembles as an anchor of their Clemson experience, keeping them on track and filling them with belonging, purpose and well-being. We in the College of Arts and Humanities aim to transform the lives of our students in the hopes that they in turn will transform the lives of others, making a difference in South Carolina and the world beyond. Go Tigers!
