Choose from the largest variety of majors and minors on campus. You can combine degrees like biology and Spanish, economics and Chinese, or history and psychology — or you can even design your own major! With programs in the natural and physical sciences, humanities, social sciences, and professional areas, an Arts and Sciences degree equips you with a range of perspectives before you walk across the graduation stage.

Help discover new knowledge. Undergraduate research opportunities include going on archaeological digs, investigating medical and visual anthropology, finding new drugs from fungi, helping translate ancient science books, or digitizing collections of historic documents. All Arts and Sciences majors are taught by research faculty who are leaders in their own fields.

Make a difference, locally and globally. From the Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies center, where students work directly with elected officials and nonprofits, to the Withrow Leadership Scholars program, where students participate in a "Leadership and Service Abroad" course in Paris and Clermont-Ferrand, France, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the world while fostering positive change.

Studying in the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences empowered me to pursue my passions for scientific research, leadership, and service. As an upperclassmen, I conducted Evolutionary Microbiology research, which sharpened my wet-lab skills and had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in France through the Withrow Leadership Scholars Program.
