College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences

In August 2024, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) approved the merger of the Department of English and the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures into the School of Writing, Language and Literature. Located in the College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences, the new school will oversee all academic programs and curricula in languages, literatures and cultures at the university.

The College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences supports a variety of centers and labs focused on research and outreach to enhance educational and professional opportunities for our students and the community.

Our College is housed in a state-of-the-art facility that opened in 2016. Hemphill Hall is the largest academic building on campus and features many professional-quality centers, labs, research space and classrooms.
