From the Dean

Dear Prospective Students:

Welcome to the School of Arts and Sciences, the largest and most diverse school within Ottawa University. We offer twenty-five undergraduate degrees, four graduate degrees, and six graduate certificates. With over half of the fulltime faculty at Ottawa University housed in Arts and Sciences, every Kansas, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Online student will spend time in the School of Arts and Sciences taking various breadth courses (general education).

While most people attend college to receive the training needed for successful careers, such an endeavor is built on a liberal arts foundation. The School of Arts and Sciences is the centerpiece of liberal arts education at Ottawa University and provides students with the skills to think for themselves, acquire a global perspective, and develop problem-solving skills, all of which provide the foundation for any major. In other words, the School of Arts and Sciences prepares students to be lifelong learners who excel in the complex and diverse landscape of the 21st century.

Explore the many course options listed within the School of Arts and Sciences where you will gain a broader understanding of the world. Then, proceed to investigate your major where the liberal arts education will open up possibilities and adventures that will transform you into one who lives a life of significance.

In the OU Spirit,
Dr. Kevin Maret
Dean, School of Arts and Sciences
