The faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences strive for excellence in teaching and exhibit a professional work ethic, and foster working relationships with students. Quality advisement and caring about the student as an individual is an essential component of the college experience.
Graduates from the programs in the College of Arts and Sciences are provided the preparation required for careers, professional schools, or post-baccalaureate education in their major areas of study. Central to this preparation is their development as lifelong learners, with the communication and analytical skills necessary to function in our technical and diverse society. They are also provided with a curriculum which fosters understanding and appreciation of multi-cultural diversity, fine arts and humanities, science and technology, and the personal rewards of learning and living.
We expect our graduates to not only excel within their major areas of study but to also be knowledgeable and participating members of the local, state, national, and global community.
Each department in the College of Arts and Sciences establishes goals specific to their program which leads to a quality education.
In addition, the College of Arts and Sciences collaborates closely with the recently established Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College (CATC). CATC is a two-year institution located on the campus of SWOSU and will be awarding associate degrees in a wide variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, American Indian Studies.
