Be curious. Be challenged. Be inspired.
Where will your interests take you? In the College of Arts & Sciences — home to the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences — you’re not limited to one learning path. Instead, you’ll experience a broad education and discover more about who you are. Our faculty develop courses you won’t find anywhere else (check out SCAND 375: Vikings in Popular Culture or ART H 200: Art in the Modern Imagination: Athena to Lady Gaga, among others). You can choose a major that excites you and makes you career-ready. Broaden your perspectives as you dig deeper or add a second major or minor that’s a bit unexpected. Here, no program is a silo. When we say arts and sciences, we mean it.
