What is Liberal Arts?
Liberal Arts is an innovative pedagogy focused on small classes, close faculty student engagement, and a strong interdisciplinary foundation with specialisations in specific subjects. Liberal Arts is about the cultivation of the whole person though rigorous reading and writing, along with active, experiential learning inside and outside the classroom. Liberal Arts graduates leave their educations with a broad base of interdisciplinary knowledge, a flexible range of skills and aptitudes, and a life-long curiosity and love of learning.

Liberal Arts at JSLH
The mission of JSLH is to establish a beachhead for interdisciplinary learning in India that will produce successful professionals who will lead society out of the morass it finds itself in. JSLH will seek to bring to life for students the underlying commonality which lies buried beneath the illusion of intractable differences. What is needed and what JSLH will promote are the spirit of enquiry, introspection, and critical engagement with the world at large.
Dean's Message
Dean's Message
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Jindal School of Liberal Arts and Humanities (JSLH). As a student in a liberal arts programme you become an intellectual explorer. The dictionary definition of “explorer” is “…somebody who travels to distant or unfamiliar places to find out more about them.” This is a fairly accurate description of a liberal arts education. As a student in this school of liberal arts and humanities, you can now embark on that journey and ask challenging questions, find out what really matters to you, learn about the world as it is and imagine the world as you think it ought to be.
