Welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences! As the Dean of this excellent college, I invite you to explore our web pages and meet the faculty and consider our wide range of engaging programs. CAS faculty are dedicated to putting students first and ensuring that all students are challenged while at the same time supported as they work toward their goals. A frequent comment heard in our hallways from students is, “I worked hard, but when I needed extra help, someone was always there.” This truly is our commitment, and we are currently formalizing it through the creation of a “Put Students First” policy.

Our college is a unique combination of programs. At its heart is the liberal arts curriculum. This core enables students to develop an understanding of the world across three fields of knowledge: communications/humanities/fine arts, quantitative reasoning/physical and life sciences, and social and behavioral sciences. We also offer professional programs which are built on a strong foundation in the liberal arts. Students can prepare for careers in Adult Education, Human Services, Health Studies, Psychology, and Written Communication to name just a few. There is a rich synergy that has historically linked our professional programs to the liberal arts foundation.

This college has been a pacesetter in its approach to adult learning. Not only does it have an internationally recognized doctoral program in Adult Education, but for over 20 years it has offered accelerated degree completion programs for adults. These two models demonstrate power of connecting theory to practice.

Most of our courses are taught in small, interactive formats. Students are consistently expected to bring their life experiences into the classroom where the content then becomes more real.
