Welcome to the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) website. I invite you to peruse our virtual tour of the school and its programs and to become acquainted with the faculty, staff and students. The School of Arts and Sciences provides academic programs in the humanities, visual and performing arts, and the sciences in its ten academic programs of study, the eleven concentrations and sixteen minors. Each department offers a lecture series and other scholarly presentations for students, faculty, and the campus community, as well as the public. Eligible students may seek membership in national or international honor societies in their majors or minors.
The School of Arts and Sciences also serves as the liberal arts center at Coppin State University. SAS offers the majority of courses in the General Education sequence, as well as a wide variety of major and minor programs in both the traditional arts and sciences disciplines and in areas reflecting Coppin's unique identity as a university serving a largely urban population:
The School offers the majority of the core courses central to the University’s general education requirements and yearly offers instruction to its students and to the approximately two thousand students from the other schools of Coppin State University. Students may earn a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree.
There are approximately 150 full-time and part-time faculty members in the School to provide outstanding instruction to our students. Approximately ninety percent of the full-time, tenure track faculty members possess terminal degrees. SAS prepares students for careers in many diverse fields and for graduate and professional school in several disciplines by providing them with classroom instruction and opportunities for internships, service-learning activities, community service projects, and study abroad experience. Students interested in a SAS program of study may obtain information from the Chair of the Department in which they wish to pursue a major.
We are sure you will find the School of Arts and Sciences to be an enriching experience.
Sincerely,
Dr. Alcott Arthur
Interim Dean, School of Arts and Sciences
