We know experiential learning and faculty focused on teaching and mentoring are a vital part of helping produce students ready for the real world. That's why 91% of College of Arts and Sciences graduates are employed full or part time, or they are continuing their education within three months of graduation.

Seeing you thrive personally and professionally is our number one goal when preparing you for careers in the humanities, social sciences and STEM fields. You’ll graduate prepared with a core set of skills and values that will allow you to adapt, learn and lead as you—and the world—continue to change.
