The transition to college can be exciting and challenging for students and for their families, and each student and family has unique contexts and diverse relationships with collegiate education. During your student's time at DU, we welcome and value the important roles you play in your student's life and we want you to be a part of their educational experience.

Why Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences?
As your student pursues a degree in the creative and liberal arts through the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CAHSS), they'll gain valuable skills and critical thinking strategies to help them succeed in a wide range of careers. Whether they choose to major in psychology or music, emergent digital practices or philosophy, they'll develop creative and analytical approaches to thinking and communicating that will empower them to create change in their communities as advocates, artists, writers and entrepreneurs.
