40 College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences offers the Master of Arts or Master of College of Arts Science degree through 16 departments. Multidepartmental and special discipline master’s degrees are offered in social work, social sciences, and Sciences environmental studies, public administration, and molecular and cellular biology. Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered in biological sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, English, environmental and plant biology, Wilson Hall, College Green history, mathematics, physics and astronomy, and psycholgy. More than one area of emphasis is available at both degree levels in several of these departments. Benjamin Ogles Interim Dean Each department will provide upon request a brochure describing specific degree requirements, specialized gradate facilities, and any other infor- Howard Dewald mation that prospective students might need.
