COLLEGE OF ARTS
AND SCIENCES
The College of Arts and Sciences is, from both historical and functional points of view, the core of the modern university. The College of Arts and Sciences views creativity, inquiry and understanding as among the greatest values in human experience. Thus, it is dedicated to the questioning, creation and transmission of knowledge; to the provision of undergraduate and graduate educational programs that are responsive to the need for an enlightened and productive citizenry; and to the provision of programs and services that enhance the quality of life of the people it serves. These goals compel a commitment to creativity and inquiry free of bias and based upon the principles of objective scholarship. They require a responsibility to promote and convey those elements of the liberal arts and sciences that must be essential components of the educational goals of all units of the university. The college seeks richness through diversity of its programs and strength through erudition.
In addition to general studies courses, major courses and minor courses, sufficient free electives should be chosen to total at least 120 hours.
