Making waves
There’s a reason we refer to the Arts as plural: it just makes sense when you’re studying humanity from different angles, asking different questions and employing different methods, while knowing that each approach can learn from the others.
Across more than 20 subject areas, Mount Arts faculty are engaged in teaching and research with great social impact. Each day, our faculty and students are exploring the principles and philosophies at the heart of practices, policies and issues that affect people at home and around the world. And our graduates are making waves around the globe too.
