Mission

As the heart of the University, the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) pursues knowledge through high-quality research and scholarship, promotes student success, fosters critical thinking, and inspires lifelong learning. CLASS advances the social and economic development of Texas and beyond by building a culturally diverse community of curious, creative, and engaged global citizens.

The College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences offers a variety of bachelor’s and master’s degree programs designed to serve different student needs. These degree programs provide the knowledge and skills students need to enter the workforce, make career transitions, advance in their chosen fields, or continue on to graduate school. In addition, students who want simply to improve basic skills, explore new interests, or enrich their understanding of the background and values of their culture can select from numerous courses in the college to enhance their education.

The College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences strives to meet these commitments and continuously improve its offerings by:

Hiring and retaining highly qualified faculty who stay abreast in their field through research and professional development.
Providing students with access to advisors who help them design programs of study to meet their individual needs and goals.
