From artistry forged in fire to global reasoning borne of critical thinking, the College of Arts and Humanities (COAH) is the heart and soul of UWG. We are creators nurtured by imagination. We are the dreamers, thinkers, and visionaries – past and present – who believe creative expression and an open mind are the foundation of every education. We think, write, and create. We are COAH.
Think. Write. Create.

We also offer minors in Literature and Creative Writing, and support interdisciplinary minor programs in Film Studies and Africana Studies. In addition to a major and minor in philosophy, both of which are excellent pre-professional areas of concentration, the Philosophy Program offers a concentration in law and both a concentration and a minor in religion.
