We currently have CAS alumni working in many different professions like lawyers, teachers, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and law enforcement officers to mention only a few.

About Us

While most of our programs are rooted in traditional disciplines that have stood the test of time in academia, we equip our students with the necessary tools for today’s global market while training them in the skills they need to conquer the challenges of tomorrow. To achieve these ends, the College of Arts and Sciences promotes a wide-range of activities, such as undergraduate research, colloquia and study tours, that enrich the culture of research and scholarship and elevate the student experience.

Integration of faith with learning is key to our identity and mission, tasks and goals. Our commitment to applying faith to life is second to none. If you want to pursue a job to earn a living, a degree program in most any university will do. But if you want to pursue a calling, CBU and the College of Arts and Sciences programs will prepare you to live for something greater.
