Our exceptional undergraduate and graduate degrees prepare students for successful careers in industry, government and public service. At COAS, we focus on nurturing well-rounded students equipped with essential skills to communicate effectively, assess information from multiple viewpoints, navigate complexity and lead diverse teams. Our courses — whether part of a degree program or general education — help students gain a comprehensive understanding of the world, anticipate trends and embrace an innovative future. Our alumni, many of whom are distinguished leaders in their fields, often credit their success to our inspiring faculty. To continue providing students with exceptional leadership skills, we aim to increase engaged learning through involvement in hands-on projects and research, internships and study abroad.
