Arts and Letters faculty are leading scholars in their fields.
Faculty members in the College of Arts and Letters have gained an international reputation for the quality of their research and teaching. Among the college’s 250 full-time faculty members are distinguished scholars whose excellence has been recognized by Pulitzer, Fulbright, Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Humanities, and National Endowment for the Arts awards.
The considerable research strengths of Arts and Letters faculty members are a central core of the intellectual climate of the university and the larger community. Faculty move their research and scholarship from the library, archive, lab, and stage into print, and find ever more interesting and effective ways to bring research into the classroom.
In the spirit of the university’s core land-grant values, which prize both quality and accessibility, our vibrant intellectual and artistic community leads the way in providing arts and humanities programs that serve the campus community and communities throughout Michigan and beyond.
