Name

The college was formally named after Charles McMicken because his donation of land helped found the university.[1] In December 2019, the university's Board of Trustees voted to remove McMicken's name from the college because he had been a slaveowner, but the name is currently retained for other uses such as McMicken Hall, where A&S is based.[2][3]

Programs

The college offers 55 undergraduate majors, 22 masters programs, and 14 doctoral programs. Enrollment comprises over 6,000 undergraduate students and over 800 graduate students. The college also offers a number of "4+1" programs where students complete their bachelor's and master's degree continuously in 5 years.
