These are "Arts and Sciences" units that are part of a larger post-secondary institution. Typically, Colleges of (Liberal) Arts and Sciences at a non-specialized university include a rather large number of departments offering a significant number of
majors/
minors or courses of study. Such departments/majors commonly include
mathematics and "pure sciences" such as
biology,
chemistry, and
physics for which
B.S. and maybe
M.S. degrees are offered, as well as a significant selection of liberal arts. The "liberal arts" may include
social sciences such as
psychology,
sociology,
anthropology and other
social studies such as
history,
geography,
political science, etc. and language studies including
English and other languages,
linguistics,
writing,
literature, and
communication arts and a variety of
humanities and other fields of study. The sciences may offer B.S. and maybe M.S. degrees, and the other majors may offer
B.A. and maybe
M.A. degrees. Humanities may include such fields of study as
philosophy,
classical studies,
theology or
religious studies, and certain others. Other fields of study may be lumped into a college of (Liberal) Arts and Sciences; however, certain specialized and professional fields are taught in more specialized colleges or schools such as a
College of Engineering,
College of Business Administration,
College of Education,
Public policy school, or a
College of Fine Arts and certain graduate level schools such as
law schools,
medical schools,
dental schools, etc. The situation may also vary between continents and their various countries. In many non-specialized universities, the college of (Liberal) Arts and Sciences is one of the largest colleges on the campus, and many students even from other colleges or schools take and are even required to take courses offered by the college of (Liberal) Arts and Sciences, such as mathematics and sometimes certain sciences. A college of (Liberal) Arts and Sciences commonly has a
core curriculum which all students in the college must take, regardless of their major in the college. Such a core curriculum may specify that certain courses by their students must be taken, or may require
elective courses to be taken within certain areas to provide a well-rounded education for each student. Other colleges or schools within a university could have different core curriculum requirements for their students. For each major and minor field of study, certain minimum courses and usually some electives must be taken within that area for a degree.
