Since the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is part of a comprehensive university, you will have opportunities to take courses in business, art and design, and engineering. You can also be actively involved in high quality dance, music, and theatre productions, as well as participate in research projects, internships and study abroad programs, no matter which of our over 30 majors you choose to pursue. But, most importantly, you'll find that we pride ourselves on quality instruction in small, intimate class settings.

To earn a degree from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at Alfred University, you will have to complete what are called General Education Requirements. The General Education Program is divided into two parts: Basic Competencies and Areas of Knowledge. Students are encouraged to complete the General Education Program during their first two years of study. The competency requirements may be satisfied either through proficiency examinations (which carry no academic credit) or course work (which does carry academic credit).
