Dean’s Welcome

Dean Scott Furlong

Welcome to Liberal Arts and Science (LAS) at UW-Green Bay! Our goal is to provide you with a broad liberal arts education that prepares you for your career and life goals upon graduation.

Liberal Arts and Sciences will provide you with the vast majority of your general education courses throughout your career. I hope you take some time during your academic career to explore some courses outside your chosen field of study. You might just find a new interest that you’ll want to pursue.

LAS offers over 30 major and minor programs. UW-Green Bay believes strongly in the idea of an interdisciplinary problem-focused education, and you will receive such an education regardless of your chosen field of study. We are also the home of a number of research centers and the national honor societies of Phi Eta Sigma (first year national honor society) and Phi Kappa Phi (national academic honor society)

I am proud to say that we also have a number of nationally and internationally renowned scholars within LAS. These are people that are writing books and producing scholarship that are being used at colleges and university across the nation. Your added benefit is that you’ll be taking classes from these professors.

Our faculty believe strongly in the student experience and promoting learning, and LAS has a number of teaching award winning faculty.

As you navigate this site, I hope you will recognize the high level of quality offered by the LAS programs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
