Giving to the College of Liberal Arts
Welcome to the Web site created for supporters of Texas A&M University's College of Liberal Arts.
The College of Liberal Arts has emerged as a cornerstone of Texas A&M University, one of the largest research universities in the nation. The college fields the largest collegiate faculty and graduates more undergraduates than any other college on campus. Liberal Arts provides more than 25 percent of the undergraduate instruction at Texas A&M since all students will take at least 27 hours in the social sciences, humanities, and arts that are at the core of a college education.
The College of Liberal Arts encourages academic excellence through faculty research and scholarship that strengthens and expands our knowledge of the humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and performance studies. It offers curricula designed to broaden horizons and enrich the quality of life, as well as help produce informed and responsible citizens.
