College of Arts and Sciences

As the academic and research heart of the university, we serve students across the institution and advance understanding in the arts, humanities, natural and physical sciences, and the social sciences. We support WSU students as they develop critical thinking skills, experience hands-on learning, and acquire life skills to help them achieve success in their careers and communities.

Many of our diverse areas are listed below and are worthy of your support during #CougsGive. Please make a gift to the areas within the college that mean the most to you.
