College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) was formed in 2004 with the merger of the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science. CLAS has a number of distinctions as the result of the merger, including being the provider of:
- the majority of the total undergraduate credit hours in the university
- the core learning experience throughout the university
- the requisite math and science for pre-professional undergraduates
- strong graduate education at master’s and doctoral levels
- nearly half of the Ph.D. degrees awarded in the university
- approximately $20 million per year in external grants and contracts
- several nationally-ranked departments (National Science Foundation and/or National Research Council rankings)
The 2010 fall enrollment in the CLAS is 14,052 students. Total enrollment includes 9,422 full-time and 4,630 part-time students.
