The history of higher education extends two centuries back into our Island's past. Since its foundation in 1969, the University of Prince Edward Island has become PEI's leading educational institution. The Faculty of Arts is a key contributor and a vital component in this grand endeavour "to encourage and assist people to acquire the skills, knowledge, and understanding necessary for critical and creative thinking"—the primary mission of this university.
The Faculty of Arts is home to 12 departments, five interdisciplinary studies programs, an articulated journalism program, a writing minor, a unique and creative University 100 program, the L. M. Montgomery Institute, and the Institute of Island Studies. It offers a diverse range of courses ranging from Anthropology to Music, from Philosophy to Women's Studies, all of which combine to provide our students with the opportunity to enhance and enrich their lives.
I welcome you to UPEI and invite you to explore the wonderful world of Arts at the University of Prince Edward Island.
