About the
Colleges of Arts and Sciences
The Colleges of Arts and Sciences
are the heart of the university, providing a broad and excellent liberal arts
education for undergraduates, and offering graduate degrees in more than 40
different fields. The Arts & Sciences provide the majority of the general
education undergraduate courses offered on campus, and the majority of
undergraduate and graduate degrees conferred are in Arts & Sciences
disciplines, indicative of the key role the colleges play on the Mānoa
campus.
A liberal arts education is centered
in the principles of open inquiry, criticial thinking, integration of knowledge,
and assessment of values. These principles serve as a foundation that guides
students in their journeys toward fulfilling lives, productive careers, and
awareness of civic responsibility. Most importantly, these liberal arts
principles spark interest in higher learning, as well as prepare students for
entering postgraduate professional schools. Arts and Sciences graduates embark
on a wide range of professional fields that lead to rewarding careers in
business, technology, public service, and education just to name a few.
