Dr. Mamie Locke
Dean, School of Liberal Arts

It is my pleasure to extend greetings on behalf of the School of Liberal Arts, the primary liberal education unit for Hampton University's Undergraduate College. The School provides quality undergraduate preparation for graduate and professional school in several disciplines and areas of arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. The School also prepares students for careers in mass media, music, graphic design, social and government service, and many other areas of interest.

Mission Statement 

The School of Liberal Arts is the cornerstone of the strong and progressive schools that comprise the Hampton University Undergraduate College. The School is committed to providing a comprehensive immersion in the fundamentals of learning that are the core of personal and professional growth for our diverse student body.

Student growth is fostered primarily through the deepening and enhancing of oral and written expression, the developing and honing of critical thinking, and the infusing of students with an appreciation and command of the global history of human thought and expression.

The School envisions graduates who have been well prepared for leadership roles in moral and scholarly aspects of their private, professional and public lives, and as a result, are best able to participate in the advancement and improvement of the human condition.
