Focus on Mission
The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides the focus for
the University's statewide liberal arts mission. The
fundamental mission of the College is to promote
critical reflection and the advancement of knowledge by
teaching the Core Curriculum; by offering comprehensive
major programs for students; and by encouraging
excellence in teaching, scholarly activity, and service
on the part of faculty. Students are challenged to
address the analytical, historical, cultural, and
philosophical foundations of their disciplines, to think
critically and creatively, to act with ethical and
aesthetic awareness, and to communicate effectively in a
free and open exchange of ideas.
Academic Programs The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides
academic programs in the fine and applied arts; the
humanities; the behavioral and social sciences; the
physical, biological, and mathematical sciences;
and other various professional
fields. As the foundation for the University's Core
Curriculum and the school's baccalaureate and graduate
degrees, these programs offer students the opportunity
to experience the interdisciplinary nature of the
liberal arts, develop competence in traditional liberal
arts disciplines, and embark upon programs of
professional study.
Encouraging Scholarship and
Creativity The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences encourages
scholarly, artistic, and creative activities that
promote the expansion of knowledge and excellence in
teaching and service. Involvement within the community
is also encouraged through cooperative partnerships with
the public and private sectors, fine arts programming,
and faculty activities. The school provides an
environment in which academic freedom and responsibility
exist in a community of learning and shared governance.
Awareness The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences is dedicated to
fostering an awareness of the cultural and ethnic
differences and commonalities found among the
communities of the world. The School of Liberal Arts and
Sciences is committed to educating students to be
responsible citizens of a democratic society.
