  • Arts Pathway
  • Community Engagement Pathway
  • Humanities Pathway
  • Language and Culture Pathway

Senior Capstone

All students will complete their RCAH requirements with a senior capstone course (RCAH 492) which integrates their learning from their foundation course up through their selected pathway.

Experiential Learning

RCAH promotes students to engage in active learning, through internships, undergraduate research, advanced community engagement projects, education abroad, and gaining language proficiency.
