Mission
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences offers students a traditional liberal education informed by the needs of the 21st century. The College develops students’ ability to reason; to compute; to write and speak; to exercise a conscious aesthetic sensibility; and to do these things with clarity and precision. These capacities are a means to understanding the wider world and to attaining the self-understanding that makes one free. The College is also rooted in Auburn University at Montgomery’s land grant tradition of cultivating the larger society and so embraces a mission to bring these ideals to the community beyond its walls.
General Considerations
In all curricula within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, the major consists of a minimum of 36 hours (see departmental requirements), a minor of at least 12 hours (where required by the major) and sufficient electives to ensure the completion of a minimum of 120 semester hours of course work. All students majoring in programs in the college must fulfill the expectations of the University Core Curriculum and UNIV 1000 requirements.
