The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences includes the Office of the Dean, Early College Programs, Interdisciplinary Studies, and the Divisions of Humanities, Physical, Life, Movement & Sport Sciences, and Social Sciences. Reporting to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean, the Director of Early College Programs, and the Liberal Arts and Sciences Division Chairs work collaboratively, in partnership with faculty, to offer a wide range of high-quality degree programs to a diverse student body. Students who graduate with a degree from one of the Liberal Arts and Sciences divisions will have completed a cohesive program of study that integrates General Education Core courses, major program requirements, and minor program requirements and/or elective credits. Whether a student completes an individualized Interdisciplinary Studies degree, or an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in the Liberal Arts and Sciences, each graduate will have had opportunities to participate in on-campus and on-line classes, in seminars, research symposia, internships or service learning, second language study, clubs and activities, and other experiences designed to enrich his or her academic career.
