CSLA is committed to research-based teaching. As such, we provide a rigorous, broad, and relevant core curriculum in the sciences and liberal arts that establishes the foundation for professional and personal fulfillment for all students. Our nationally recognized faculty offers programs, from the bachelor’s through the doctoral level, with emphasis on multi-disciplinary interactions that reflect the unique interests of students and the pressing demands of the modern world. The mission of the college is to:
