Welcome to the College: A Message from the Dean
Welcome to the College of Arts & Sciences at Shippensburg University. Here you will find a range of majors and minors that almost certainly pleases every interest – and a superb faculty with the expertise to support those programs.
Our College is founded upon the principle that a high-quality, professional education within a major, when combined with a minor emphasis and a broadly-based general educational experience, provides a firm foundation upon which to build a productive and enriched life and career pathway.
Because of the nature of the disciplines comprising the College, we also provide excellent development of critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills – a set of “soft-skills” that, when combined with disciplinary knowledge, is highly valued by employers, graduate schools, and professional schools.
A College of Arts & Sciences degree sets the stage for a productive life as a professional in the workplace, as a citizen of the United States and the world, and as a fulfilled individual. Please browse through our website and visit our campus; you’ll be amazed at the opportunities you will find.
Dr. James H. Mike, Dean
College of Arts and Sciences
