Liberal Arts


With more than 30 undergraduate programs, 20 graduate programs, and a variety of minors, the McAnulty College & Graduate School of Liberal Arts is the heart of Duquesne. The McAnulty College honors Duquesne’s mission of serving God by serving students to prepare them for productive and creative lives as citizen leaders in a diverse, rapidly changing world. We benefit from the public good our students and alumni do in the world, necessary, vital work based on the essential dispositions of a liberal arts education: critical thinking, ethical decision-making, creative problem-solving, rhetorically communicating, and individually and collectively accounting for a more socially just future. Through our annual Day of Giving, we also honor the legacy of Fr. Henry J. McAnulty to both the University and the College and the spirit of giving he inspired among the students, now our beloved Golden Dukes.

The impact of your gift

As the first College at Duquesne University, McAnulty has over a century long tradition and a strong vision for its future.  With your support, we can make our vision a reality.  Past gifts have allowed us to:

  • Develop innovative, mission-centered programs for our students 
  • Improve our classrooms and learning centers 
  • Provide our students with scholarship and internship opportunities 
  • Support undergraduate and graduate student research

Please donate to the McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts on 2.8.23

Our students greatly benefit from your support as tuition and fees do not fully cover the cost of a Duquesne degree. Your gift will support: 

  • Dissertation Fellowships 
  • McAnulty (MAP) Internships 
    • Supports internship expenses such as tuition and travel 
  • Community Engagement Opportunities

Don't forget to also spread the word!

An additional way to make a major impact on the Duquesne Day of Giving is to help us spread the word via social media, e-mail, text or word of mouth!
