Welcome to the School of Arts and Sciences!

MISSION

The School of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Kokomo plays a central role in the mission of this comprehensive regional campus. It is the largest of the campus' six schools, and has been at the center of IU Kokomo's academic and intellectual life since the campus' inception. The school offers a liberal arts education that combines broad exposure to the insights and methods of the principal academic disciplines with focused study in one or more areas. It is also responsible for basic-skills courses in mathematics and oral and written communication, as well as the majority of the courses fulfilling system school and campus general-education requirements. Because of the richness and diversity of its majors and minors, strong undergraduate preprofessional programs, and numerous certificates, students have a variety of choices when selecting programs in the school. Although the content of courses has changed over the years, the primary mission of the faculty housed in the School of Arts and Sciences continues to be to foster the well-rounded development of students to enable them to take their place in society as effective citizens and life-long learners. Simultaneously, the school provides students with opportunities to develop skills that are required for the workplace and/or for advanced study. A liberal arts education emphasizes the ability to reason clearly, to extract the essential significance of large bodies of information, to apply general principles in new contexts, to communicate effectively, and to be sensitive to human creativity and morality.

The School of Arts and Sciences is the center of IU Kokomo's academic and intellectual life, offering many of the major areas of study as well as general education courses for majors outside the school. The school includes three departments that provide course work for the following degrees:
