What are the Liberal Arts?
We offer 19 different majors in the CLA, many of which include concentrations and teacher licensure programs. Whether you are interested in the humanities, social sciences, or visual and performing arts, we will have a program to fit your needs.
What is My First Step?
Whether you are a first semester student or a transfer student, your first step is to attend an orientation specially designed for you. Orientation provides you the opportunity to meet with an academic advisor and get registered for classes, learn more about your major, meet other students, learn about involvement opportunities, CSU tradition and much more.
