Liberal Arts

Diversify Your Thinking. Reimagine Our World.

Discover the heart of Duquesne University at the McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts, offering 30+ undergraduate majors and 20+ graduate programs. Our mission aligns with serving God by preparing students as citizen leaders. Graduates of the College enter the world and start their careers with essential skills such as critical thinking, ethical decision making, creative problem solving, and effective communication. On this Day of Giving, we also honor the legacy of Fr. Henry J. McAnulty to the University and the College – and the impact of his giving spirit.

Make a difference on February 7th

As the first College at Duquesne University, Liberal Arts has over a century-long tradition and a strong vision for its future. With your support, you will empower us to:

  • Develop innovative programs
  • Support student research
  • Assist in internship expenses such as tuition and travel
  • Provide community engagement opportunities

Your donations last year went to directly helping students like Emily B., a graduate student in the MFA in Media Arts and Technology Program. Her position as a Social Media Manager Graduate Assistant for the College was funded through your generosity and is helping her gain crucial experience in content development and strategy.

“I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every supporter of the College. Thank you for helping students like me achieve my bigger goals,” says Emily.

Several supporters to the McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts will match donations to the College, dollar-for-dollar, up to $11,200.
