Overview
The Liberal Arts & Sciences teach students how to think, not what to think—through an educational tradition that prepares each person with the reasoning and communication skills needed to thrive in an increasingly complex and shifting world.
The Social Sciences and Humanities, which comprise the Liberal Arts & Sciences Division at Rose State College, provide an education that both broadens the mind and provides the marketable skills employers seek.
Message from the Dean:
Welcome to the Liberal Arts & Sciences Division. Study of the Liberal Arts and Sciences originates in classical antiquity, where such knowledge was established as essential for anyone who wished to be acknowledged as a free and educated person. This remains the goal of our studies today: To help students become someone who can think logically, solve problems, and lead others to reach across traditional boundaries. Someone with the skills to shape their own destiny.
