School of Arts and Sciences

The mission of the School of Arts and Sciences is to provide students with education of high quality in the knowledge, skills and values that will enable them to achieve success in their professions and become meaningful contributors to society. The School is committed to an interdisciplinary approach in its curricula while offering students opportunites for experiential learning, internships, and community service.

Our programs are designed with attention to the institutions we serve. The education we offer features acquisition of fundamental knowledge in a wide range of fields and an application-oriented approach to issues that are progressively more interdisciplinary.

The Arts and Sciences include degree programs in Biology, General Studies, Graphic Design, Illustration, Industrial Design, Interior Design, Literature and Civilization (with concentrations in Creative Writing, English, History, Philosophy, and Psychology), Mathematics, and Music. In addition, the School is responsible for those courses in composition, humanities, fine arts and natural sciences, mandated by the University's core curriculum.

The School is committed to an interdisciplinary approach that it believes best prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century, and for graduate school.
