SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

The School of Arts and Sciences prepares students to take their place in a complex and interdependent world as thoughtful people and involved citizens. We encourage students to develop discerning and critical minds. They are taught to read perceptively, to think clearly and creatively, and to communicate accurately and effectively. The School of Arts and Sciences helps students to sharpen their powers of analysis and synthesis; each department aspires to give students a broad perspective within which, as cultured and humane men and women, they can respond to events sensitively and objectively.

We seek to sustain these goals by maintaining excellence in teaching, student and faculty disciplinary expertise and research, historical and critical, theoretical and applied. The School fosters faculty and student scholarship and creativity. Study in the humanities and social sciences, the fine and performing arts, and the natural sciences and mathematics deepens human understanding, aesthetic appreciation, and a systematic and empirical analysis of the world and its physical processes.
