| Welcome to the Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts. As you will see from this website, we are the intellectual heart of Coastal Carolina University. We offer you the opportunity to learn about the accomplishments of human beings in literature and art, politics and theater, music and philosophy, to discover what makes life worth living and to develop the transferable skills that will prepare you for all the jobs you will hold throughout your lifetime.
You will be able to work with an exceptional group of faculty who are publishing scholars and creative artists and musicians, people who are devoted to excellent teaching, and who care about the complete educational experience of their students.
In the College, we stress the values of intellectual vitality, moral agency, esthetic appreciation, and creative engagement inside and outside the classroom. We will work with you to sharpen your skills in careful reading, clear thinking, close observation, effective writing, and persuasive argument.
We believe students can be the makers of the world they inhabit, and our ultimate goal is to prepare each of you to live a thoughtful and fulfilling life as a responsible and responsive human being and citizen.
Education changes people’s lives. When you leave Coastal, you will not be the same person you were when you arrived. Higher education in particular is a journey and an adventure. We look forward to your joining us on this journey.
Dr. Bill Richardson

Associate Professor Cheryl Ward from the Department of History recently attended the world premiere of a documentary film focused on the reconstruction of an ancient Egyptian ship that successfully saild on the Red Sea in December. Quand les Egyptiens naviguaient sur la Mer Rouge, directed by Stepane Begoin and produced by Valerie Abita, was four years in the making, and takes the audience from archaeological excavations to ancient temples and modern shipyards. The 66-foot-long ship was built in the same way ancient Egyptians built their ships, and proved to be extremely easy to sail and fast.
The film, presented to a standing-room-only audience in the Louvre Museum on September 21, 2009 resulted from a partnership between the French public television channel ARTE, the Louvre, and the production company Sombrero in Paris. A trailer for the film may be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-OR-1Rc8k4. An English-language version of the film by NOVA will be broadcast in early 2010 by WGBH. |
