Not all heroes wear capes—some only have a liberal arts degree.

Where Transformational Leaders Are Made

We believe a liberal arts education empowers our students to change the world. And with the global challenges threatening humanity today, we need minds capable of not only solving problems, but thinking critically about which problems to solve, and designing innovative solutions that address why we should.

With programs in humanities, math and computer science, as well as the natural sciences, we encourage our students to analyze, question, challenge, and discover. We believe that to be active participants in the world around us, we must welcome perspectives, voices, and beliefs different from our own.

One of the values of a liberal arts education is that it covers a wide range of topics and experiences designed to make you look at the world a little differently. You won’t just read, you’ll interpret and analyze. You’ll write to explain, persuade, and understand. You’ll think critically, thematically, and systematically about how to use (or not use information) to make the world a better place.

When you seek to understand the world around you, your world of opportunity gets bigger.

Expand Your Mind, Transform Your Life

Welcome to the College of Arts & Sciences, and Education (CASE)! We’re so excited to meet you. However you’re thinking about your career (or career change), our CASE programs can transform you from student to a professional, industry leader.

We encourage and create experiences that demonstrate appreciation for the arts and sciences in all human endeavors. In addition, our intimate classroom sizes foster extraordinary lifelong connections between students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

We offer all of our programs across 5 departments within 2 schools:

Our Departments in the School of Arts & Sciences

The School of Arts & Sciences (SAS) focuses on delivering a global liberal arts education. Our programs develop and support students in becoming communicators, critical thinkers, problem solvers, and lifelong learners. Our graduates are able to adapt skills learned here into fields of study both within and outside the liberal arts.

Regardless of major, undergraduate students must take SAS classes as part of Coppin’s General Educational Requirements (GERs). We design these courses to educate and empower our graduates by providing a strong foundation in critical analysis and thinking—highly valued soft skills most employers want.

You might need to take some of our courses as major requirements, and other courses you may be able to choose as electives. Either way, we have numerous course offerings for you to pursue your unique interests. Even after completing GERs, you may choose to take additional courses if you can accommodate them in your program plan.

Covid-19 Preparedness

The Covid-19 epidemic has created a lot of uncertainty for many of us. Throughout this entire experience, our goal has been to support our students in safely returning to campus. Together, even amid COVID-19, we commit to creating an environment for you to grow, thrive, and earn your degree.

We continue to respond to changing guidelines, and plan based on recommendations from the federal government, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as other governing organizations. We anticipate a majority of our Fall 2021 course offerings will be blended where some courses will be offered face-to-face on campus, with a majority as online and remote.
