The Languages, Arts, and Social Sciences Division within the Alexandria Campus is a good place to study where humanity has been, where it is, and where it might be going. It is a good place to gain skills and insights useful in shaping both a personal future and the future of humanity.
The dawn of the 21st century illuminated a world unrecognizable to our ancestors. It is a world interdependent and interconnected, a world where anything that happens anywhere can affect everyone everywhere. To see the world more clearly in the light of this new age, come study with us at the Alexandria Campus.
The Alexandria Campus is a world campus. We have students from 160 of the world’s nations in our classrooms. Our graduates are to be found everywhere on the globe.

We offer courses in World Literature, Environmental Studies, Histories of Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Western Civilization, Religions of the World, Music and Art Appreciation, Intercultural Communications, and many more directed at creating a better understanding of the world around us.
We are home to the finest English as a Second Language program in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We offer fourteen of the world’s languages, including the ten most widely spoken.
The Institute for Public Service, a unit within the Liberal Arts Division, places students from America and from around the world in internships in the Washington area institutions that influence the community, national, and world policies. The Institute sponsors forums on topics important globally and locally and works to apply the resources of the Alexandria Campus to projects that promote the public good. Within a ten mile radius of the Alexandria Campus are the embassies of 190 nations, the Pentagon, State Department, and the headquarters of dozens of international organizations. Many of our students work in this international environment and many of our teachers have experience within it.
Jean H. Braden Center for Women, Gender, and Social Equity, also a unit within the Languages, Arts, and Social Sciences Division, provides a place for quiet study as well as seminars, lectures and classes dealing with issues that shape our world.
