Programs of study

Undergraduate programs

Majors

The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences offers 70 majors, all of which offer some flexibility. Students can also design their own majors with our individual plans of study. The student designs this program in consultation with his or her advisor. All programs allow for flexibility so that students may create programs that are uniquely their own.

Minors

LAS minors are open to students in any curriculum or college at the university.

Certificates

Certificate programs typically involve fewer courses than a minor, while enabling students to develop additional knowledge in a field or subfield.

Graduate programs

The College of LAS is proud to offer over 110 graduate-level majors and minors.

The LAS mission
