The College of Liberal Arts offers a wide variety of degree programs in the fine arts, the humanities, and the social sciences. The college also helps prepare students for professional and graduate study and cooperates with other colleges in offering joint professional and preprofessional programs. The college contributes the largest number of courses to the university's General Education Program, providing students with much of the knowledge that is at the heart of a broad liberal education, as well as many of the skills and habits of mind that are the mark of an educated person.
The college offers four undergraduate degrees: the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, the Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelor of Music. The college also offers master's degree programs in English, history, humanities, music, and applied behavioral science.
