Physics, Astronomy and Geosciences

The College of Arts and Sciences provides a wide array of exciting majors, minors, and individual courses offered by ten departments and four interdisciplinary programs housed in the College. In addition, the College is responsible for a substantial portion of the general education component for all undergraduates at VSU. Through the Core Curriculum, the College helps to provide students with the academic foundation upon which they will build successful lives and careers. That foundation includes a mastery of strong communication and critical thinking skills, the development of quantitative reasoning, a thorough understanding of the historical and cultural heritage of world civilization, an appreciation of a diverse and multicultural society, and a solid grounding in the natural sciences. In working toward this end, the College of Arts and Sciences is dedicated to educating students to meet the challenges of an ever-changing, complex society and to value the strengths of the past as well as the opportunities of the future.
