College of Arts & Sciences
Welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences
The heart of our college is the dedicated faculty who conduct original research, and who teach students in the classroom, in the laboratory, and in the community the skills, values, and wisdom of a liberal arts education. This education is the greatest gift the university can provide for the public good. Citizens who can think critically are the necessary ingredient for a healthy democracy.
