Dr. Lisa Hernandez

The College of Arts & Sciences serves as the academic core of the liberal arts education at CBU while also preparing students in a variety of distinct degree programs. 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 & 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. Our goal is to produce life-long learners with essential knowledge and skills rooted in a biblical worldview to become positive contributors to our society.
