Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts (graduate)

The Liberal Arts division of the Braniff Graduate School seeks to accomplish at the highest level the University’s commitment to the revival of the Western heritage of liberal education, the recovery of the Christian intellectual tradition, and the renewal of Catholic theology in fidelity to the Church and in constructive dialogue with the modern world. Its specific purpose is to offer selected master’s and doctoral programs in the liberal arts which recall these disciplines to their first principles and which will prepare students for careers in a variety of fields. These programs seek to enable students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for work in particular fields, and to understand the principles of learning and the virtues of mind and heart which are constitutive of excellence in their life’s work.
