COOEiSe OF ARTS SCIENCES The College of Arts and Sciences has expanded from its early headquarters in the Academic Building to include operations in ten buildings. At A AA, a well-developed program of liberal arts and basic sciences is considered of vital importance to a complete edu¬ cation. These studies are administered through the College of Arts and Sciences, composed of 14 departments embracing the natural and social sciences, business, education, language and literature, journalism and physical education. The College of Arts and Sciences has a two-fold purpose: it serves as a partner of the other degree-granting colleges by directing the liberal and scientific education of technical students. It also offers complete courses of study for students specializing in an area of arts or sciences. For all students the study of the humanities, the social and the natural sciences provides instruction essential to cultural, civic and economic development. It also helps develop orderly thought and analysis required to solve new problems and trains students to express themselves clearly and concisely. Wayne L.
