Mission Statement
All students in the College of Arts and Sciences are challenged
to achieve their full academic, professional and personal potential. Our
graduates are prepared for a lifetime of learning, service and responsible
citizenship by virtue of the breadth and depth of their educational
experiences and grounding in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences.
The College of Arts and Sciences promotes an understanding of humanity and
the universe by fostering a community of student and faculty scholars. The
College is committed to the enduring values of a liberal education as a
foundation for a lifetime of learning, service, and responsible citizenship.
The integration of academic disciplines and professional programs and facilitation
of creative and critical thinking distinguish the College. The College encourages
collaborations and partnerships to enhance educational, research, and career
opportunities. Through a spectrum of innovative learning strategies, the College
increases educational opportunities for a diverse student body, particularly women
and underrepresented populations.
All of us in Arts and Sciences are committed to the goal of preparing our
students to be prepared fully to meet the challenges of an ever-changing
environment and to meet the expressed needs of employers for graduates who
are excellent communicators, analytical thinkers, able to apply scientific
and mathematical learning, proficient in the uses of technology and
culturally literate.
Within this framework, opportunities for students abound to
- Excel academically (Honors course, research projects, exhibitions
and performance venues)
- Experience an optimum classroom environment (The overwhelming majority
of our courses are taught by full-time faculty and the small size of
our classes encourages student and faculty interactions. (The ratio
of faculty to students is approximately one faculty member per 16 students.
- Acquire professional work experiences (Internships and cooperative
education programs)
- Develop leadership skills (Student clubs and organizations)
- Prepare for graduate education or direct entry into a career (Several
of our excellent programs have the highest accreditation and national
recognition among the rankings of top ten programs.)
- Begin the lifelong process of personal enrichment through learning
and service.
The College of Arts and Sciences is comprised of the Departments of Biology;
Chemistry and Physics; English, Speech and Foreign Languages; Fashion and

Arts (Dance, Drama, and Music); Psychology and Philosophy; Sociology and Social
Work; and Visual Arts. The Women’s Studies Program, the Honors Scholar Program,
