The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) houses departments and programs that explore what it means to be human, how people construct identities and institutions, and how individuals and groups interact over time — in communities, in cultures, and in nations.

The majors and programs in CLA provide students with opportunities for in-depth learning and experience in a particular field or profession. In addition, the common abilities developed through courses in CLA align well with those identified as desirable for successful careers: critical thinking, effective writing, global awareness, attentiveness to the ideas and beliefs of others, and self-direction.

Through its contributions to the Core Curriculum, the college seeks to enhance such abilities in all Towson University students.

The College of Business and Economics (CBE) develops high-quality and innovative programs and resources, connects individuals to opportunities and theory to practice in curricular, extracurricular and research activities, and transforms students who will have a positive impact within Maryland and beyond.

CBE offers four undergraduate majors, 11 concentrations and tracks, three Master of Science degrees, three post-baccalaureate certificates, and six minors.

Our business and accounting programs are accredited by AACSB International, which is the highest standard of achievement a business school can receive. Less than 5 percent of schools worldwide are accredited for business and only 1 percent are accredited for both business and accounting.
