The College of Arts and Sciences embraces the traditional
aims of a liberal arts education: a critical understanding
of diverse cultures as expressed in their literature, art,
ideas and values. The College also strives to foster analytic,
interpretive, creative, and interpersonal abilities, as well
as communication skills, both oral and written, which are
fundamental to functioning effectively in the University and
in the larger community. In providing educational foundations
which enable students to develop, evaluate and express ideas
critically, the College hopes to contribute to the formation
of responsible citizens and competent professionals.
The College of Arts and Sciences is comprised of 13 academic
units: Art; Biological Sciences; Chemistry; English and Foreign
Languages; Geography and Geology; History; Mathematics, Computer
Science, and Statistics; Music; Physics; Political Science;
Public Communication; Sociology; and Theatre and Dance. It
also houses the Preprofessional Studies Division.
