Students enrolled in the College of Arts and Science may choose among a number of degree programs and options designed to permit undergraduates flexibility in the pursuit of their educational goals, within guidelines or requirements established by the faculty. These formal requirements ensure that all students in the college complete courses representative of each of the major disciplinary groupings in the College: Arts and Humanities, Culture and Institutions Through Time, Behavioral and Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

The intent of these requirements is to provide students acquaintance with, and appreciation of, the materials and methodologies of each area and, ideally, to foster an awareness that the works of an artist, historian, novelist, sociologist, and physicist may all be equally valid representations of reality. In the process, students should develop a heightened understanding of all aspects of human environment, intellectual curiosity, respect for fact, perception of the complexity of truth, skill in reasoning, and concern for integrity and logical consistency and should acquire perceptions, skills, and attitudes that will assist them in achieving a full and satisfying life as contributing members of society.

In addition to the requirements listed for the various degrees, students must fulfill the general University requirements for baccalaureate degrees listed in the all-campus Academic Regulations section of this catalog.
