In the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, our curiosity propels us to seek a better tomorrow, today.
We ask big questions, try new things, and find unexpected answers. We chase breakthroughs, question assumptions, and embrace inventive ways of thinking. Because tomorrow is better when we seek it together—so we seek it with everything we’ve got.
