Academic diversity, which is the essence of a traditional university education, is a hallmark of the disciplines and majors housed within the College of Liberal Arts. Liberal Arts is a major part of the University Core Curriculum because with a strong foundation in the liberal arts, students can build strong professional careers in any major discipline. The college offers a wide range of majors, minors and also interdisciplinary programs.
Your contribution is an investment in our students’ success. We are thankful for your generosity. Please see our funding priorities below and click Give Now at the top of the page to make your gift.
CoLA Activities Account: To provide funding for college activities such as educational symposiums, new student recruitment events, and current student engagement and retention activities.
CoLA Undergraduate Scholarship Fund: A scholarship fund to assist students who would be unable to continue at the university due to unexpected financial crises. This fund provides a bridge that students need to cross over financial pitfalls that would otherwise force them to leave school, such as paying for books or helping pay off their bursar bill.
Planting the Roots of Legacy: As we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the College of Liberal Arts at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, we invite you to be a part of our legacy-building initiative. We are embarking on a journey to honor this milestone by planting an enduring symbol of strength, wisdom, and resilience—a majestic oak tree near the heart of our campus, by Faner Hall.
