The liberal arts program at National Hispanic University will produce well-rounded graduates educated as critical thinkers and problem solvers with excellent communication skills in Spanish and English. Inspired by NHU’s tradition of education for service, our graduates will strive to make a difference in a diverse world by first helping themselves and their families, then the community, and finally society in general. Our students will have the knowledge and skills to be competitive in a global economy. They will also be prepared to continue their studies in a wide variety of fields including law, medicine, government, industry, entertainment, criminology, education, and social work. The National Hispanic University’s graduates “will be the change (we) want to see in the world” by helping develop a 21st century democratic society which promotes the ideals of justice, equality, and fairness for all within and outside our borders.
