Arts and Sciences The College of Arts and Sciences, which was the College of Liberal Arts until the fall quarter of 1956, is designed to give its students a fundamental background in the humanities, arts, and sciences. It offers many courses designed to serve the needs of the other schools and col- leges within the University. The primary aim of the college is to encourage the student to develop to the highest, his potentials and capabilities as a person and as a member of society. In this light, emphasis is placed upon broad education which con lead directly to a career. Rather than specialization in one field, a liberal education is stressed. Two degrees are offered by the College; the bachelor of arts and the bachelor of science. However, certain non-degree programs are offered, but are generally limited to one year and are valid toward graduation. Students may now choose their major field from the more than 20 which are offered, and prepara- tion for advanced study in graduate or professional schools ore also offered. Each student in this College is treated as on individual The program is varied, so that each may find his own field in his own time. The Dean of the College is Dr. Eric N. Rackham. Dr. Eric N. Rackham, serving as Deon of the College Sciences, also teaches The Bible as Literature, in the English department. jf Arts end 11
