Effective communication is the cornerstone of a liberal arts education. The ability to articulate your thoughts and ideas is vital to professional success as well as personal fulfillment. The ability to write and speak well, more than any other skill, ensures future success.
A quality relationship between students and faculty is the first necessary collaboration needed for educational growth. UAS classes have an average student to professor ratio of 12:1, which is an ideal setting to foster individual student growth. After that bond has been established there is ample opportunity for students to build collaborative skills in activities such as student government, academic journals, the Whalesong student newspaper and numerous other clubs.
