Mission
The College of Arts and Sciences is the intellectual heart of the University of South
Florida. We are a community of teachers and scholars united in the belief that broadly
educated people are the basis of a just, free, and prosperous society. By focusing
on the big questions facing all of humanity, we prepare students for successful, socially
responsible personal and professional lives. By conducting innovative, interdisciplinary
research and scholarship, we advance knowledge in ways that prepare us to address
complex social and scientific problems and enhance the quality of life for people
and communities.
