Arts & Letters Alumni: Paul Farrell Jr. '94. How the Liberal Arts Fosters a Powerful Way of Thinking

Attorney Paul Farrell, Jr. '94 is a founding partner of Farrell & Fuller and Farrell Law. His Arts & Letters degree has helped him understand context and systems that are vital during complex litigation.
"And what I've found is that in order to be successful in the practice of law, you have to be able to see systems within the individual. In any type of organization, there are systems within systems. And by having the broadest education you can, you can understand the patterns that happen within them."

With 20 departments across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, the College of Arts and Letters is home to exceptional faculty and talented students who are studying what they love. It's an environment to ask big questions, read classic texts, and explore languages and cultures.
We're not just about learning through acquisition. We're about learning through exploration. Our undergraduate students travel the globe to research topics that fascinate them, then turn their observations into conclusions about the world.

Through the liberal arts, you learn to read deeply. Think about issues critically. Discuss topics thoughtfully. Write arguments persuasively. Contribute to projects creatively. And these abilities aren't just vital in the classroom-they're exactly what employers, graduate schools, and service organizations are looking for.
