General Mission

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is dedicated to unfettered intellectual, scientific, and artistic exploration. Through a rich array of undergraduate and graduate programs, academically and professionally proven faculty offer dynamic and rigorous curricula that unite tradition and innovation, while advancing communication skills, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and responsible stewardship. Interdisciplinary investigation is encouraged within and beyond the College. Liberal Arts and Sciences bring renowned speakers, exhibits, conferences and cultural activities to campus for the enrichment of both campus and community. Collectively, these opportunities motivate our students to become engaged and invested citizens, - responding creatively to the challenges of a diverse and changing world. Collaborative student-centered experiences excite a life-long thirst for learning and prepare students for fulfilling lives and careers. This mission embraces the intellectual, artistic, and scientific empowerment of all.  (See the EIU Graduate Catalog for further information about graduate programs.)
