General Information
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the nucleus of IU South Bend. Through studies with the faculties of the
humanities, social and behavioral sciences, mathematics, and natural sciences departments, students have the
opportunity to broaden their awareness and knowledge of the major areas of human activity.
By selecting an area of study in one of the Liberal Arts and Sciences disciplines, students acquire in-depth understanding
of a single field of investigation. Through their academic experiences, students also sharpen critical thinking skills,
develop an appreciation for the literary arts, learn to communicate more effectively, enhance their self knowledge, and
increase their tolerance for differences. Consequently, students graduate prepared for a lifetime of learning and are
better able to cope with and enjoy the rapidly changing world in which we live.
Faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences advise all students with a declared major in the college, or leaning
toward a Liberal Arts and Sciences major. In addition, faculty have accepted the responsibility of advising and
welcoming all incoming freshmen students who are still deciding about their major. Regular advising sessions are
scheduled during summer orientation and by appointment throughout the year in Wiekamp Hall 3300B. The advising
telephone number for students still exploring options regarding a major is (574) 520-4537.
