What is the greatest driver of transformative progress? We submit the answer is…Curiosity!

Our college is driving transformative progress, grounded in our liberal arts heritage, as the cornerstone of education for all Mean Green and the bedrock of advanced learning for nearly all existing and emerging fields of study. Home to 23 academic departments, programs, centers and a school, CLASS cultivates and inspires a curiosity born of our deepest passions and commitments to improve lives in our communities near and far.
