The scope and quality of academic instruction throughout
the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts is enhanced
by the work of several Institutes and Centers that operate
within the college or in collaboration with other colleges.
They encourage meaningful research, stimulate dialogue through
symposia, conferences and workshops, and engage in mutually
beneficial community service programs. In many instances
the Institutes and Centers have created effective partnerships
between academia and the global community that address emerging
issues in social, political, economic and technological
systems both here and abroad.
