College of Arts and Sciences

Oakland University was founded in the liberal arts and has made a commitment that all students will benefit from a broad liberal arts education.

The College provides the curriculum for the liberal arts that all students enjoy, whether they major in one of the college’s 142 degree programs, its School of Music, Theatre and Dance, or in one of the University’s professional schools.
