Faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are dedicated
to providing a high-quality educational experience for the students
enrolled in the college's twelve bachelor's degree and six master's
degree programs. College faculty have often been recognized for
excellence in the classroom and have also produced many books and
other publications.
The college offers exceptional laboratory and
studio facilities, featuring the modern Health and Sciences Building
with well-equipped science and computer laboratories. Faculty in
the arts and sciences work closely with students in those studios
and laboratories, providing the "hands on" educational
experiences essential to the development of working skills.
In addition to traditional majors, the college offers several
special programs. The liberal studies program gives mature students
the
opportunity to design their own degrees toward the goal of a
broad liberal arts education. The complete liberal studies degree
is
available online for students who cannot attend classes on campus.
The credit for prior learning unit provides an attractive option
for adult students seeking to capitalize on their life experiences
as they return to higher education. The Center for Teaching and
Learning offers students assistance in many subjects and helps
faculty develop courses taught in the classroom or through the
use of advanced computer technology. The center also provides
staff training for the use of UIS computer software and coordinates
academic
assessment activities for the campus.
The Applied Study Office directs the placement of undergraduates
in internships (some paid by cooperative education grants)
with businesses, agencies, and community service organizations.
The college also supports co-curricular activities such as
the Visual Arts Gallery, various program-based student organizations,
field trips, and the annual Verbal Arts Festival.
