Moore’s Liberal Arts program spans the traditions of art in history, to the economics and politics of contemporary art and design, to literature and creative writing, and beyond. Courses in this discipline explore ideas and stimulate students to find new sources of inspiration that enrich both their lives and work. The Library is continually acquiring materials that will support the liberal arts program.
