General Information
The College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest academic division of the University, dating from 1892. Offering one of the most extensive liberal arts and sciences programs in the country, the college recognizes that its students have a wide variety of educational goals.
The college requires all of its students to undertake work in general education courses, the core curriculum, designed to broaden their knowledge. Students are also required to present a considerable body of work in at least one major field of study.
Liberal education, however, is more than courses and academic proficiency. Contact with members of the faculty outside the classroom and with other students in informal discussion, independent study and research, and participation in the broader intellectual and cultural life of the academic community are factors that significantly enrich a student's experience in the College of Arts and Sciences.
