The
College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is comprised of the following four
divisions: The Division of Chemistry and
Biological Sciences; Division of Communication, Visual and Performing Arts;
Division of Computing Mathematics and Technology and the Division of Humanities
and Social Science. Our broad course offerings include 20 undergraduate
programs, 17 minors and 10 graduate programs.
Furthermore, we have 8
certificate programs available for undergraduate and/or graduate students.
In
terms of accreditation, GSU is fully accredited by the Higher Learning
Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The
university is also a member of the Illinois Council of Baccalaureate and Higher
Degree Programs. In addition many of the
programs in the CAS have received specific accreditation.
As
an example the American Chemical Society has approved our Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree program. The American Chemical Society approves
professional programs that meet the guidelines defined as high quality
undergraduate education. Another example
includes our Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with Teacher Education
Concentration. The degree program has
received national recognition with no conditions through the Illinois State
Board of Education, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the
National Council on Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Please see our website for further
information regarding specific accreditation at the CAS.
In
terms of our professors, eighty-five percent of the faculty at GSU holds a
Ph.D. or the highest degree in their discipline. You will discover that the faculty and staff
mirror the diversity of our student body and share similar experiences and
backgrounds. Each of them is dedicated to their students’ success and brings a
wealth of world-class research, exhibition and service to the GSU experience.
From
art to criminal justice and communications to mathematics and science, the CAS
offers a broad range of programs. Also most of our classes have fewer than 30
students so you will receive personalized attention. Visit our website to learn more about the
exceptional programs at the CAS.
Did
you know that Governors State University offers several off campus learning
opportunities including the Naperville Learning Center? These locations offer
added convenience to students in all areas of Chicagoland. We look
forward to helping you achieve your educational and career goals.
