We are committed to placing disciplinary expertise within a broader liberal arts context in order to encourage the creative and analytic thinking that comes with interdisciplinary thought. We expect all of our graduates to be able to access and evaluate information with reason and evidence, and to effectively communicate about that information to diverse audiences. In the Macricostas\u00a0School of Arts and Sciences, we believe that a liberal arts education is outstanding preparation for a productive and rewarding life.<\/p>\n Objectives<\/p>\n To meet these objectives<\/p>\n The Macricostas School of Arts and Sciences plays a central role in the education of every student at Western Connecticut State University. Whether through the foundations in our general education curriculum<\/strong><\/a> or the depth of knowledge provided by our major programs<\/strong><\/a>, we are committed to creating outstanding learning opportunities for all.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Associate in Science<\/p>\n AS-Liberal Arts <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Bachelor Degree Programs<\/p>\n BA- American Studies<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BA-Anthropology\/Sociology<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BA-Biology<\/strong> BS-Secondary Education: Biology (See Education & Educational Psychology Department) \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n BS-Chemistry Chemistry\u2013ACS Approval<\/a> Chemistry with Biochemistry Option- ACS approved<\/p>\n Chemistry with Biochemistry Option<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BS-Secondary Education: Chemistry (See Education & Educational Psychology Department) BA-Communication<\/strong> BS-Computer Science<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BA-Applied Computing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BA-Contract Major<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BS-Contract Major<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BA-Digital & Interactive Media Arts (DIMA)<\/strong><\/a> BA-Economics<\/strong> BA-English<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BS-Secondary Education: English<\/strong> (See School of Professional Studies for more information)<\/p>\n BA-History<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BS-Secondary Education: History\/Social Studies<\/strong> (See School of Professional Studies for more information)<\/p>\n BA-Interdisciplinary Studies<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BA-Mathematics<\/strong> BS-Secondary Education: Mathematics<\/strong> (See School of Professional Studies for more information)<\/p>\n BA-Media Arts<\/strong> BS-Meteorology<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n BA-Political Science<\/strong> BA-Professional Writing<\/strong> BA-Social Sciences<\/strong>
