Welcome from the Dean
Welcome!
As Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at Pittsburg State University, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our web site. Nearly every student will connect with Arts & Sciences at some point in their time at Pitt State. That is because we host the majority of general education courses. We take this role seriously and our desire is to provide a strong background upon which major course work is added. Whether enrolled in general education, major, or minor courses, our teachers are committed to student learning. We believe that experiences inside and outside the classroom combine to help students develop the knowledge and skills leading to successful and productive lives.
I invite you to explore our fourteen departments and view a wide array of academic programs and extracurricular opportunities. Many roads lead from the College of Arts & Sciences at Pittsburg State University as students select exciting majors and minors helping them move into careers, further their preparation through professional schools, or remain at PSU to earn a masters degree. The choice is yours and I hope you choose the College of Arts & Sciences at Pittsburg State University!

The Mission Statement of the College of Arts and Sciences
The mission of the College of Arts and Sciences is three-fold:
First, through the General Education Program, to provide students with a foundation of knowledge and skills to become educated members of society.
Second, through more than fifty undergraduate and graduate majors and minors in fourteen departments, to provide students with the opportunity to develop expertise in specific disciplines.
Third, through extensive outreach programs outside the classroom, to provide the campus and the larger community with opportunities for cultural, aesthetic, and scientific enrichment and development.
