The College of Arts and Sciences The heart of any University is its liberal arts pro- gram. The earliest educational institutions were devoted wholly to the so-called liberal arts and nearly all colleges and universities in the world have developed from that initial core of widespread knowledge. Without a strong liberal arts program, no college or university is eligible for the name of an institution of higher learning. Here at OCU we have a liberal arts pro- gram to be proud of, one based on solid academic back- grounds. This past year our liberal arts faculty adopted the name of College of Arts and Sciences. The five divisions were retained. They are Humanities division, Science division, Social Studies division, Professional and Voca- tional division and General Education division. Humanities strives to accent a balance between rights and duties, claims and obligations that the in- dividual must have in making his adjustment to society, both contemporary society and the history of mankind. The Science division in spreading the knowledge made available through scientific investigations educates the student in objectivity and substantial background for further education in advanced professional and graduate study. Nations have risen and collapsed on the ideas of people such as those stressed in the Social studies. To them the proper study of mankind, is man. For those people who want to directly utilize the knowledges of liberal arts in a profession or vocation, the Professional and vocational division gives training. Here students learn how to directly apply the knowledge gain- ed in their other courses in occupations such as teach- ing and journalism and office work. To make sure that students who specialize in a few departments of the University still get an introduction and understanding to all the phases of liberal arts, the General Education division offers courses in art apprecia- tion, music appreciation, the sciences, math, and wes- tern culture among others to help the student become well rounded in his education.
