While all colleges in the University of South Alabama base their programs on the liberal arts, the College of Arts and Sciences is especially committed to humane studies. These studies encompass those disciplines involving the nature of man and the universe, the motivations and processes of human relationships, and the creative arts through which people express their thoughts and feelings. The College of Arts and Sciences is keenly aware that educated individuals are more than trained job-holders. They are men and women who are capable of enlightened evaluation of our complex world. This education enables them to make intelligent efforts at solving human problems.
Options exist for students to earn dual degrees, double majors, or complete more than one minor.
Students interested in these options should contact the Dean's Office or Registrar's Office for details. Degree requirements are to be satisfied with Arts and Sciences courses unless otherwise specified. Courses in other colleges may be taken for elective credit, only after approval of the student's advisor, chair, and the dean. At least 32 semester hours of course work must be at the upper-division level in order to fulfill the University's residency requirement. In addition, a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in the student's major or concentration area.
