Message from the Dean

Welcome to the College of Arts and Letters at Southern Miss. On behalf of our outstanding faculty and staff, I invite you to browse these pages to learn why we say,

Arts and Letters is at the Core
…at the core of fine and performing arts in the Gulf South region
…at the core of new programs to connect Mississippians to the ever-changing world of digital media
…at the core of graduate education and research in arts, humanities, and social sciences
…at the core of international and interdisciplinary studies at the university

I encourage you to look carefully at the wealth of opportunities available through our academic departments and schools. Once you have explored our Web site, please consider coming for a visit. Our faculty and staff are eager to help you achieve your personal educational goals.

Denise von Herrmann
