Welcome to a World of Discovery!

Gibbs Knotts

The College of Arts and Sciences includes disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.  Despite our diversity, our college is united by a number of shared commitments.  We embrace the teacher-scholar model and our faculty integrate teaching and scholarship in creative and innovative ways.  We also support a student-centered learning environment where students become active participants in their learning both inside and outside the classroom.  And finally, we share a commitment to discovery.  Our students and faculty confront age-old questions and investigate new ideas about the human experience and natural world.

To learn more about us, please explore the various departments, interdisciplinary programs, and centers and institutes that make up our College.
