Mission of the Arts and Humanities Department

The mission of the Arts and Humanities Department at Doña Ana Community College is to foster artistic, cognitive, and intellectual growth in students who have chosen to pursue the Associate of Arts Degree as well as those who take courses to fulfill General Education requirements.  Students will learn to read, think, and listen critically; make informed choices based on a sense of logic and ethics; appreciate diversity of thought as well as the diversity of cultures; and through inquiry become engaged in the pursuit of knowledge.
