The College of Liberal Arts offers a wide variety of degree programs through three schools: the School of Fine and Performing Arts, the School of Humanities and Cultural Studies, and the School of Social Sciences and International Studies. All three schools help prepare students for professional and graduate study and cooperate with other colleges in offering joint professional and preprofessional programs. The college contributes the largest number of courses to the university’s Core Program, providing students with much of the knowledge that is at the heart of a broad liberal education, as well as many of the skills and habits of mind that are the mark of an educated person. 

The college offers four undergraduate degrees: the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, the Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelor of Music. The college also offers master’s degree programs in English, history, humanities, international and comparative politics, music, and public administration.
