Dean: Dianne L. Oliver, Ph.D.
Associate Dean: C. Yousuf George, Ph.D.
The College of Arts and Sciences at Nazareth College includes 13 departments and over 40 individual and interdisciplinary undergraduate majors in the visual and performing arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics, as well as five master’s programs. The Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue is located within this College, as are the Center for Public History and the Honors Program.
Faculty and students in the College of Arts and Sciences are engaged both in these focused major programs, and also with an innovative undergraduate core curriculum. Through teaching, research and creative work, faculty foster an environment where students explore questions enduring to the human condition, and gain skills and knowledge that prepare them to live and work across a lifetime. Students develop the habits of mind of thoughtful, adaptable, creative and productive human beings.
College of Arts and Sciences’ students prepare for future professional and personal success by stretching their intellectual boundaries on campus and off. They may take classes in a wide array of areas from Public History to Music Pedagogy, from Religious Studies to Math, from Biochemistry to Studio Art, and from Theatre to Sociology. Applying this learning in internships, performances, and service settings, as well as through a rich array of opportunities to study abroad, they develop global and cultural competency–a broad understanding of the world in which they live in all of its dimensions.
Students learn to read closely, think effectively from problem to solution, and to write for multiple audiences, situations and purposes. When they leave Nazareth, students from the College of Arts and Sciences are professionals in the best sense of the word: scientists, historians, communicators, artists, musicians, performers, mathematicians, therapists, anthropologists, psychologists, educators, and citizens imbued with an understanding of interfaith traditions and with the skills to work, to live and to serve.

CHM 245 - Inorganic Chemistry This course is designed to build a fundamental understanding of the behavior of chemical species traditionally not covered in organic chemistry. While this may seem like a rather vague description, the aim is to give the student the tools needed to approach the study of chemistry from a series of basic concepts which apply to all of the elements of the periodic table. We will begin by looking into the relationship between structure and spectroscopy and how a mathematical treatment of these will allow the student to both predict and interpret a variety of spectroscopic data. This will be followed with an in depth look at bonding theories and discussion of how most of the chemical reactions one is likely to encounter can be approached from one or more of these theories. Along with this discussion we will expand upon the simple concept of acid base chemistry and use this as a springboard to an investigation of reaction kinetics, mechanics, and equilibrium systems. The course will conclude with practical experience in putting all of these principles together in the study of coordination compounds. Course Codes: ABR.

ENGL.Q 143 - Queer Identities (PEQ English/Literature) Queer Identities introduces students to literature from a wide range of orientation perspectives often referenced collectively as queer: lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered, and intersexed among them.

The belief that sex, gender, and even orientation are binary and oppositional still dominates contemporary American culture. The literature to be studied deconstructs such normative binary categories and demonstrates the variety of orientation identities and the fluid aspects of sex, gender, and orientation as perceived by a significant segment of society.

PSC 350 - Crime and Deviance in Latin America: A History of Social Control As Latin America severed ties with Spain and Portugal and began the process of establishing modern republics after the 1820s, leaders and liberal governments began to identify crime as a social problem at odds with national order and progress.

We will read what historians have uncovered about how the science of social hygiene and prophylactic measures to safe guard the social fabric of virtue and ideal citizenship grew and attempted to codify and regulate behavior.
