College of Letters and Science
The College of Letters and Science boasts award-winning programs, nationally recognized faculty and talented students in the largest and most varied college at UW Oshkosh. The College offers 40 undergraduate majors as well as numerous minors, emphases, certificates, pre-professional programs and graduate programs spanning the sciences, the humanities, the fine and performing arts, social sciences and engineering technology.
Central to the mission of the college is a broad-based liberal education that challenges students to explore a wide spectrum of knowledge about the human experience and the natural world, to enhance their skills of communication, critical thinking and problem solving, to understand and bridge cultural difference, and discover their own capacities for creative expression.
Through an exciting array of powerful learning opportunities – including hands-on community-based projects, internships, student/faculty collaborative research, global learning and study abroad, among many others – COLS equips students for specific careers while also preparing them to be responsible citizens who understand and contribute to the complex and changing world in which they live.
