Introduction

Realize Your Potential

The School of Humanities and Sciences recognizes that intellectual flexibility, critical thinking, and the ability to transform analysis into socially responsible action are increasingly in demand in today's knowledge-based economy. And, simply put, we also know how important it is to care about what you do. Because we're dedicated to preparing you for a rewarding career, we extend your education beyond the classroom, offering exciting opportunities to participate in conferences, internships, and research.

Explore Our Rich Curriculum

We offer a wide array of programs in the humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, social and behavioral sciences, and fine and performing arts -- and you'll find your options don't end there. You can double major or supplement your major with a minor, either within H&S or in any of the other schools on campus.

Get Inspired

Our highly qualified faculty members are noted for their expertise, commitment to teaching, and professional contributions. But even more importantly, in our small classes you'll find they engage with you, and inspire you, on a personal level.

Forge Your Own Path

Interdisciplinary coursework and special programs offer you additional flexibility to study what you love.

• In one of our first-year seminars you'll study a topic in the liberal arts while getting an introduction to the whole college experience.
• Our Exploratory Program allows you, in your first two years, to follow your interests, learn more about yourself, find new enthusiasms -- and discover the major that's right for you.
• With the guidance of an academic adviser, you can design your own major through our planned studies program.

In short, by taking advantage of our varied resources, you'll find your own pathway to a lifetime of professional -- and personal -- satisfaction.
