History
Largely a thesis opportunity, our beginnings coincided with the establishment of the College of Arts & Sciences in what had been a normal school begun in 1910. Despite a war-time hiatus from 1942-48, 31 theses were completed during these two decades, most in arts and sciences with a few in education. Some graduates became international scholars, and at least two returned to Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ for their faculty careers. Today, we have grown to a college with approximately 1,600 undergraduate students from any major offered at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State who have chosen to enhance their educational experience.
