College Mission and Strategic Initiatives

To support our mission, we undertake certain initiatives to enhance the experience of our students, faculty and staff and the university as a whole.

Mission

The College of Arts and Sciences is the academic foundation of Kansas State University. Its mission is to:

• take the lead in providing a high quality liberal arts foundation for all
  K-State students;
• promote high-quality graduate education and scholarly research activities;
• promote high-quality undergraduate programs for its own majors;
• provide service to the disciplines, state, and nation.

Strategic Plan

Kansas State University is revitalizing its strategic plan, now known as Next-Gen K-State. To prepare for this process, and for the subsequent development of our college's aligned strategic plan, Arts and Sciences faculty and staff have engaged in a year of discussions about our values and hopes for the college and are collaboratively working to create a College of Arts and Sciences Next-Gen Strategic Plan.
