Our practical curriculum begins with a solid foundation in general education which is supported by our Excellence System.

The College of Arts and Sciences develops and maintains the majority of courses in the Foundations of Excellence section of each degree program - whether it be in business, technology, or health.  These courses include English, humanities, social sciences, math, environment science, and diversity. 

Since programs in the technology area require a greater emphasis in math and science to meet employer expectations, a dedicated Foundations of Mathematics and Science component is supported by the College of Arts and Sciences.

For international students, this College offers a series of English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.  For students interested in another language, Spanish is regularly offered on campus as well as online.

The faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences have been active proponents of service learning as well as study abroad.  These opportunities offer students a chance to apply their learning and expand their knowledge through real-world experiences.
