Rustbelt Certificate
Students in our Humanities program receive a rustbelt certificate. This is beneficial because institutions are rooted in regional ecosystems and that the humanities play a vital role in strengthening the civic fabric of our communities.
The majority of our undergraduates focus on studying what we call “the healing arts." These professions require an understanding of the narratives—both painful and hopeful—that underpin so much of our lived experience in this Rust Belt region; the stories that we tell about place have real consequences.
If rhetoric is the art of speaking or writing effectively, then the co-creation of Rust Belt rhetorics within the composition classrooms at Ursuline College guides the citizens of the Rust Belt to speak and write effectively from within and about their region using a language that is both rooted in place and history.

All students can submit original works of art, poetry and short essays to our creative arts magazine Inscape. Explore the most recent issue!
