The College of Arts and Sciences comprises seven departments: Aviation Science, Communication Arts; History and Government; Modern Languages and Literature; and the Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, which includes Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, and Mathematical Sciences. Together they reflect and promote studies in and personal pursuit of the finest in human artistic, intellectual, scientific and spiritual achievements. All curricula are aimed at enriching the lives of our students by enabling them to grow in sensitivity to themselves, their heritages, and the world around them.

To achieve these ends, the College directs the University Honors Program for select students and a series of Integrated Humanities courses for all students that cross the usual disciplinary boundaries in order to create space for vital interdisciplinary interaction. Likewise, the College sponsors Overseas Study Tours each summer that are open to majors in all CBU programs that provide special opportunities and challenges to personal and intellectual growth.

Integration of faith with learning is key both to our identity and our mission, our tasks and our goals. Our commitment to applying faith to life is second to none. If you want to pursue a job to earn a living, a degree program in most any university will do. But if you want to pursue a calling, CBU and the programs in the College of Arts and Sciences will prepare you for the race.
