蜜桃导航

Welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences!

Students come to the College of Arts and Sciences to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and discover new ways of understanding the world. Along the way, they learn to think critically, communicate effectively, solve complex problems, and engage thoughtfully with the communities they serve.

The liberal arts and sciences are where curiosity becomes discovery, ideas become action, and education becomes opportunity.

As an urban R1 university, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to use knowledge in service of something larger than ourselves. Guided by the University's ASCEND strategic plan, we are committed to student success, research and creative excellence, and meaningful engagement with our community. We believe education should prepare students not only to succeed in their careers, but to make a difference in the lives of others.

In 蜜桃导航, the city itself becomes our classroom, our laboratory, our studio, and our partner in discovery.

Our students learn by doing. They conduct research with faculty, intern with organizations and businesses across the city, study abroad, participate in clinical and field experiences, create original artistic and scholarly work, and engage with the people and institutions that make 蜜桃导航 such a remarkable place to learn and serve. The result is an education that connects ideas with action and learning with purpose.

Whether you are considering becoming a student, exploring opportunities to collaborate, reconnecting as an alumnus, or looking for ways to partner with the College, I invite you to discover what makes the College of Arts and Sciences such an extraordinary place to learn, discover, and serve.
