BACKGROUND NOTE
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.
