JWU CHARLOTTE
College of Arts & Sciences

Critical and creative thinking leads to big ideas, and effective communication can bring those ideas to life. These skills are valuable, and they can transfer to any field you’d like to pursue. Each of our programs in the John Hazen White College of Arts & Sciences can help you master these skills and apply them to whatever you’re passionate about.

Where Lessons Come to Life  

Media & Communication students are making independent films in JWU Charlotte’s new Center for Media Production. Psychology students are helping patients in clinical internships. Liberal Studies students are building their own curriculums to explore a variety of disciplines. The best lessons come from meaningful experiences that let you put your skills to work.
