Experiential learning defines the dynamic culture of the College of Arts and Sciences. Our graduates thrive in a student-centered environment which offers them significant participation in the pathfinding research of our faculty.
It is not just world-class instruction that provides our students with an excellent foundation in science and the liberal arts, but authentic collaboration with faculty that truly cultivates the creativity, critical thinking, and effective communication skills demanded by the 21st century workplace. The unique interactions between students and faculty, in small groups and often one-on-one, represent LTU’s most essential advantage.
Students planning to enter technical fields, and those seeking careers in the humanities and social sciences, are prepared for academic and professional achievement through an exploratory approach rooted in real-world applications, supported, and empowered by a faculty committed to student success. The opportunities for hands-on experience that students enjoy will prepare them for the challenges of a competitive workplace and give them a distinct advantage in securing rewarding jobs across a wide array of professional fields.

Learn about the exciting research happening in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The CAR Lab at LTU was founded in 1998 by Professor CJ Chung to promote Intelligent robotics and STEM + Computer Science Education through autonomous Robotics. Currently the lab focuses on robotics and intelligent vehicle research projects using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Deep Learning, Deep Reinforcement Learning, Evolutionary-Neuro-Fuzzy.
This CAR lab is the birthplace of Robofest launched in 1999 and IGVC robotics teams started in 2003.
The Faculty Research Council (FRC) supports the interdisciplinary and impactful research and scholarship performed by faculty and students within the College of Arts and Sciences (CoAS). The FRC provides support for grant and fellowship identification and proposal writing, logistical assistance to project management, and mentorship in scholarship, tenure, and promotion.
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.
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.
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.
