Background
The College of Arts and Science
was initially known as the General Science Course. Beginning in 1884, a
student could obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in science and the
arts by taking courses (not majors) in English & rhetoric, Latin,
French, German, history, philosophy, physical science, mineralogy and
geology, biological science, metallurgy, mathematics, and music. There
were no departmental administrators or dean until 1924, when the General
Science Division was formed. By 1953, the Division added applied arts
to the title. After the college became a university, the Division of
Science and Applied Arts changed its name to the College of Arts and
Science.
The College of Arts and Science
serves two significant functions within the university. It provides
instruction in the university core requirement for a liberal education
as well as education in specific disciplines.
The fifteen departments in the College of Arts
and Science offer major and/or minor programs leading to one of
three undergraduate degrees. In addition, five departments in other
colleges offer majors and/or minors in programs administered through
the College of Arts and Science.
