The success of Oklahoma State University depends on a thriving College of Arts and
Sciences (CAS).
CAS instruction, scholarship, research and outreach will lead OSU in addressing the
University’s Strategic Initiatives outlined by President Kayse Shrum in the fall of 2022, including the four Priority
Areas and eight Strategic Imperatives.
CAS fosters fundamental knowledge that underlies societal advances in critical areas,
including nourishing the world, aerospace innovation, animal and human health, and
energy. The College of Arts and Sciences, consistent with the University’s land-grant
mission, is committed to promoting distinction in teaching and student learning; fostering
research, scholarship and creative activities by faculty and students; and supporting
the community through outreach and extension activities. This is achieved in an environment
of academic responsibility that embraces a diversity of expression, experience and
culture.
As OSU’s largest college, CAS takes seriously the responsibility of helping the University
become the preeminent land-grant institution in the nation. To do so, we created our
strategic plan in direct response to the University’s strategic initiatives.
Continue to address bureaucratic inefficiencies, degree requirements, quality of instruction,
experiential learning and other forms of potential graduation impediments.
Help all CAS students leave OSU with the four competencies of professional preparedness,
engaged citizenship, ethical leadership and personal responsibility.
