Perhaps a dozen liberal arts colleges in this country qualify as distinguished centers of learning.  The University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts holds a prominent place on this list.

Like its top-tier peer institutions, LSA exists and flourishes within the rich intellectual milieu of a premier research university.  Here, the frontiers of science are explored and tested.  New understandings of national policy and world economics are formulated.  The enduring legacies of the great works of literature and art are maintained and reinterpreted.  In LSA's 25 academic departments, 30 programs and institutes, museums and field stations discoveries are made, knowledge is generated, and the world—ultimately—is changed.
