College of Arts and Humanities
at Clemson University
Emerging from the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities in 2023, the new College of Arts and Humanities (CAH) is proud to carry forward Clemson University’s tradition as a “high seminary of learning.” CAH is the home of 16 degree programs across six departments: English, History and Geography, Interdisciplinary Studies, Languages, Performing Arts, and Philosophy and Religion. The College proudly occupies the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts as well as Clemson’s oldest academic building, Hardin Hall, and one of its newest—the nearly 60,000-square-foot Daniel Hall Extension, which was completed in 2022. We recruit research faculty from the finest universities who are at the forefront of their fields, producing internationally recognized work. At the same time, our faculty are passionately dedicated to teaching: they inspire curiosity, foster the spirit of inquiry, and open our students to unfamiliar worlds and unimagined ideas.
The College is centered on exploring and understanding the human condition. It encourages students to engage with culture, history, creativity, and the ultimate questions of existence. Students learn the skills to make a living, while also being challenged to think about how to make a life. Through expert pedagogy in supportive environments, students are trained to think deeply, write effectively, and interact respectfully with others. The College of Arts and Humanities is where Clemson students prepare to meet the world. Together with SC Humanities and our partners in education throughout South Carolina, we are committed to advancing the cause of humanities education in our state.

Francis Marion University
Humanities and the liberal arts provide the foundation every Francis Marion University student needs to grow and develop as an individual. The College of Liberal Arts offers undergraduate and graduate programs that promote intellectual growth, encourage innovation, and develop responsible citizens. Francis Marion University’s emphasis on liberal arts education allows students to move beyond how to understand why as it creates leaders.
The university’s public-forward research, lectures, events, and cultural arts programming lets community members learn about social issues, attend thought-provoking exhibitions, and inspiring concerts and theatrical performances.
South Carolina Arts Commission
The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission (SCAC) is to promote equitable access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.
A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts by providing grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
