At UIS, CLASS provides a place for students and faculty to engage in intellectual exploration and discovery of ideas and concepts that prepare individuals for careers and lifelong learning. This learning is achieved in a variety of modes across a wide spectrum of disciplines. We offer 8 undergraduate majors, 2 master’s degrees, and 12 minors through on-campus, online and blended programs. Our 3 undergraduate online programs are innovative and robust, allowing students worldwide to earn their degree away from campus. With our membership in COPLAC (Council on Public Liberal Arts Colleges) UIS is recognized as a leader in the liberal arts. We offer small class sizes with the opportunity to work closely with faculty who are experts in their fields. We encourage cross-disciplinary study, applied learning, and study abroad.
