The Social Sciences and Humanities, which comprise the Liberal Arts & Sciences Division at Rose State College, provide an education that both broadens the mind and provides the marketable skills employers seek.

Message from the Dean:

Welcome to the Liberal Arts & Sciences Division.  Study of the Liberal Arts and Sciences originates in classical antiquity, where such knowledge was established as essential for anyone who wished to be acknowledged as a free and educated person. This remains the goal of our studies today: To help students become someone who can think logically, solve problems, and lead others to reach across traditional boundaries. Someone with the skills to shape their own destiny.
