The University of Central Florida College of Arts and Humanities is an academic college of the University of Central Florida, located in Orlando, Florida, United States.[2] The current dean of the college is Jeffrey Moore, M.M.[3]
History
The College of Arts and Humanities was established in October 2005 after the College of Arts and Sciences was split into the College of Arts and Humanities and the College of Sciences.[4]
When Jose Fernández was named to serve as dean of the new college in 2006, he became UCF's first Hispanic dean.[5]
In May 2026, the college garnered national attention following a controversial commencement address by business executive Gloria Caulfield of the Orlando-based Tavistock Development Company[6][7] (which has been a major corporate donor to UCF). After encouraging them to "embrace innovation without fear of being disruptive", Caulfield was interrupted by loud boos when she told the graduating students that "the rise of artificial intelligence is the next Industrial Revolution."[8]
