Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Academic Freedom and Educational Responsibility: Research, scholarship, and creative inquiry are the foundations of the education that the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters offers its students and community. In their teaching, the College’s faculty emphasize the development of the critical thinking skills that are essential to the creation of knowledge and a deeper understanding of our society, culture, and world. A recent statement by the Association of American Colleges and Universities, “Academic Freedom and Educational Responsibility,” reflects the core principles that the College has stood for since its founding. Academic freedom is a core tenet of our intellectual community. We accept the responsibility of educating engaged and thoughtful citizens, and we recognize that the challenges of this responsibility are magnified by the 21st century´s technological complexity, intercultural exchange, and worldwide connectedness.

"Learning through my participation with linguists in Second Language Acquisition research at FAU has been a rewarding experience by shaping my current academic goals and my future professional goals. This research is paramount for understanding how the mind processes language. This cutting edge research is used to design the curriculum for the Spanish language program!"
