The School of Arts and Sciences provides the finest foundation of a liberal education designed for informed and engaged citizenship.

Every major in the School of Arts and Sciences promotes the following values: life-long learning; global citizenship; and social justice.

Life-Long Learning: The School of Arts and Sciences encourage students to take their formal education as an opportunity to develop qualities that will last a lifetime. These qualities include introspection, critical thinking, analytical skills, self-expression, empathy, ethical awareness and resilience in the face of ambiguity. The liberal arts have always prepared students for life-long engagement with civic and professional life, informed by a clear sense of values.

Global Citizenship: The importance of understanding the international dimensions of modern life and thought cannot be overemphasized. Learning to think and act as a citizen of the world, to understand and appreciate both diversity and our common humanity, are powerful lessons in an increasingly global economy and culture.

Social Justice: Our emphasis on social justice is a reminder of our obligations to those around us. The connection between self and society, and how they now unfold globally, is one of life’s most enduring and challenging questions. Both the University as a whole and the School of Arts and Sciences encourage students to promote full citizenship for all in the University, community, and world.

The School of Arts and Sciences offers the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), the Bachelor of Science (B.S.), and the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A). We also offer a range of minors, certificates, microcredentials and combined degrees. These offerings provide a solid foundation for graduate studies and professional accomplishment in various fields. In an evolving global society, the adaptability nurtured by the liberal arts has never been more relevant or more sought in the workplace.
