The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest academic unit at UMKC. This leads to big opportunities for our students such as graduating with a variety of hands-on experiences. Still, we like our class sizes small, so you can get know your professors — and they get to know you.
Our three academic areas — Arts and Humanities, Behavioral and Social Sciences, Natural and Physical Sciences — encompass 17 departments with more than 40 degree options. We also offer interdisciplinary programs that complement both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
The College of Arts and Sciences promotes the development of an enlightened society by fostering the discovery of new information in the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences, and by making our educational resources widely available to the public. Through teaching, research and service, we enhance and enrich the intellectual, cultural and economic well-being of the city, the region and the state of Missouri.
