Welcome to Governors State University's College of Arts and Sciences
Not only do you find students of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities, but you find them pursuing majors and minors as varied as they are: from art to criminal justice, from communication to math and science. But no matter which majors they pursue, you’ll find GovState students in classes led by professors who are stars in their fields, as equally committed to research as they are to teach.
