A Message From the Dean
An academic experience designed for a changing world
The College of Arts and Sciences offers bachelor’s degree programs to a wide variety of students. Other academic programs in the College provide opportunities for students to minor in a range of disciplines.
Whether you choose to study in the Humanities, the Natural Sciences, or the Social or Behavioral Sciences, students do more than simply accumulate facts or receive training in techniques. Every program is designed to help students integrate their growing knowledge into a world that is dominated by information and directed by technology, gaining the basis for growth in intellectual and professional integrity.
You will be prepared to learn how to learn; you will be future-proofed to adapt to the constantly changing demands of our workforce and our global society.
Smaller class sizes and the rapport between students and an excellent faculty enhance this educational setting, as does the mission of the University, with its emphasis on mercy, service, justice, and hospitality.
The academic experience in Arts and Sciences programs is vital and powerful. I hope you will explore our departments’ web pages and visit our lectures and events page to come to know us better. We welcome you!
