In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we offer students an array of perspectives to help them think for themselves. You can explore rain forests in Panama or literature in Spain, present your research at national conferences, or intern with businesses, government, and non-profits in Indianapolis and Washington, DC. We help you take your knowledge beyond the classroom and into the world.
Through exploring one of three central themes—community, social diversity, and global awareness—students will acquire the critical thinking, writing, and speaking skills to question and ultimately understand a wide range of cultural and social issues, the first step in one’s ability to instigate positive change.
