Initiatives

Explore the Arts and Sciences’ initiatives that inspire innovation and hands-on learning.

Current Initiatives

Robofest®

Robofest® is LTU’s world-wide robotics program for students in 4th – 12th grade. Student teams design, construct, and program their autonomous robots to compete for trophies in a variety of competitions.

STEM Education

The College of Arts and Sciences at LTU is committed to high school STEM education and outreach in our Metro Detroit community and beyond.

I-CAAN Scholars Program

The I-CAAN program provides financial assistance and supportive programming to foster the educational and career success of academically talented, economically-disadvantaged students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or computer science at LTU.

Scholars Program

The Scholars Program is an interdependent, cohesive community for students who support each other’s academic and life goals.

Becoming a Scholar offers benefits such as peer mentoring, a social support network, and a professional mindset to help students succeed at LTU.

Quest Program

Quest is a co-curricular experiential learning program for highly motivated College of Arts and Sciences students who wish to engage in unique learning experiences above and beyond the requirements of a course.

Visiting Scholars Grant Program

Full-time CoAS Faculty members can apply for this grant program designed to foster inter-institutional research partnerships. Develop grant proposals, prepare major publications, or initiate innovative research projects with external collaborators.

Departments
Humanities, Social Sciences, + Communication

In Humanities, Social Sciences, and Communication, we explore what makes us uniquely human. Through ancient and modern texts, social norms, and communication, we uncover how these fields are essential to all careers and human endeavors.

Math + Computer Science

In a world of programming, proofs, and unending figures and unfeeling facts, is there room for a touch of magic? Data drives discovery, innovation redefines intelligence, and when curiosity meets logic, mathematics can be miraculous.

Natural Sciences

Curiosity drives discovery in biology, chemistry, and physics, guiding us from molecular interactions to chemical reactions and the fundamental laws of nature. Explore what makes you curious.
