Arts & Humanities

The humanities are the heart and soul of any great university and such is the case at Iowa State. Explore timeless literature and hone your writing skills in English, or become an English teacher.

Study hidden antiquities in Classical Studies or examine Plato, Marx and much more in Philosophy. The Religious Studies program will introduce you to many global beliefs.

Enjoy Music? Study performance, composition or music education. Most students in our bands, choirs and orchestra aren't music majors, just those who enjoy music. Step into the Performing Arts spotlight with ISU Theatre, or study theatrical design and technology.

Unlock old secrets and examine our past in History. How about a study abroad trip to look at London's social and cultural history? Or you can study gender issues in depth in Women's Studies.

Liberal Arts and Sciences students speak languages you never dreamed of studying. Learn French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Latin or Portuguese. You could do an internship in Frankfurt, Beijing or about anywhere.
