College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
Welcome to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences! With more than 5,000 undergraduate students, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is by far the largest of the six colleges at Rowan University.
The College provides General Education courses in the humanities, mathematics and the natural sciences, and the social and behavioral sciences. These courses give our students a breadth of knowledge while developing skills in oral and written communication, quantitative reasoning, computing, critical thinking, and research.
Our students go on to acquire a depth of knowledge in one of the major programs in the College. Expert faculty who have distinguished themselves in their disciplines through research, scholarship, and other professional activities help our students learn both in the classroom, through engaging lectures and interactive instructional approaches, and outside of the classroom, through laboratories and research projects. Our faculty care genuinely about the success of our students and make themselves available for advising, mentoring, and academic discussion.
The College also offers a pre-professional program in medicine and allied health. Articulation agreements between Rowan University and professional schools of dentistry, medicine, medical technology, optometry, podiatry and veterinary science help our students make a smooth transition to those schools.
Our Mission
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences celebrates and affirms the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences as the core of liberal education and the basis for professional preparation. Our coursework promotes rigorous inquiry, analytical and integrative reasoning, and decision-making. Internships, field experiences, special programs of the College's Institute, and technological advances extend the liberal arts and sciences beyond the limits of the classroom and of the campus. In all of its offerings, the College plays an essential role in Rowan's mission to help students become life-long learners and responsible citizens.
