School of Arts & Sciences
Sciences, humanities, and arts to create holistic learning environment

The arts and sciences serve as the foundation of general education at liberal arts institutions. Indeed, the desire to learn, explore, and gain knowledge has led humans to experiment and change for centuries. We constantly engage with numerous ideas and disciplines as we seek our places in the world, our roles in our communities, and our careers.

 Our school prioritizes experiential learning, enabling students to engage in hands-on activities, field studies, research, service learning, and internships. These experiences foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and real-world application. Our school integrates the sciences, humanities, and arts to create a vibrant and holistic learning environment. 

From Biology and Chemistry to Geosciences and Psychology, our programs equip students with technical proficiency, critical thinking abilities, and practical knowledge for various industries and healthcare careers. Our departments, like Anthropology, English, History, Philosophy, and Sociology, empower students with creative problem-solving, effective communication, and a nuanced understanding of cultural and environmental complexities. 

Thank you for supporting the School of Arts & Sciences!
