| Transcript | Arts and Sciences ACADEMIC DEAN—Dr. Alfred R. Neumann Liberal Education Balanced by Specialized Curriculum Offering a basis for a broad, liberal education, the College of Arts and Sciences is the largest of the University's ten colleges. Its primary purpose is the development of each student's interests and abilities to the end that he may take his proper place in our society, sharing in its leadership in intellectual, ethical, economic and social activities. Each student in the University participates in the course work of the College of Arts and Sciences by taking a core of subjects representing the common background necessary for all fields. Those majoring in the departments of the College of Arts and Sciences are seeking a liberal education, preparing themselves for one of the professions or improving specific aptitudes. Curricula of the College of Arts and Sciences are designed to acquaint each student with the main fields of intellectual interest, while allowing at the same time as deep a knowledge as possible of one special field. In addition to basic liberal arts courses, the college offers pre- professional training for students planning to enter medical, dental, legal, theological, teaching and other professions. Included in the special facilities available to students are language and science laboratories, KUHT-TV and KUHF-FM, the COUGAR (student newspaper) and HOUSTONIAN (yearbook). DEAN—Dr. Alfred R. Neumann received his B.A. from Marshall College, M.A. from University of Kentucky, M.A. from Harvard and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. A specialist in German studies, he has lectured and written extensively on the interrelation of German music and literature. 84 Languages are learned more easily through the help of the modern language laboratory. Exacting equipment in the chemistry labs provide students with excellent working conditions. |
