Greetings from the College of Arts and Sciences at Boise State University. As the largest academic unit in the University, the College provides a variety of baccalaureate, masters, and PhD programs in the arts, sciences and humanities. The College also provides two-thirds of the general education (core) curriculum for all degree programs in the University.

I invite you to learn more about the numerous programs and opportunities available, and to meet the wonderful faculty and the administrative and professional staff responsible for teaching and learning in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Greetings from the College of Business and Economics where we want to help you create your future.

These are certainly interesting times for business and economics. The events that occur in our country, and throughout the world, provide instant case studies for our undergraduate and graduate courses.

I would be remiss if I didn't update you on the biggest project ever for COBE – the new COBE building that will form the entry point to the campus from its location at the corner of Capitol Blvd. and University Drive. The new five-story building will be nearly 100,000 square feet – over twice as big as our current building – and will cost about $35.5 million. It will transform how we teach and how our students learn.

COBE is committed to helping you Create Your Future. This is indeed the right place at the right time.

Patrick Shannon, Dean

Greetings from the College of Social Sciences & Public Affairs. We are the youngest college in the university and home to the greatest number of award-winning teachers, and many of the most productive scholars.

We take seriously our mission to facilitate engagement - not only in community service and outreach, but in politics and policy. Our success depends on instilling in each of our graduates the unfaltering belief that democracy requires their determined commitment and active involvement.

SSPA is home to a remarkable group of faculty, staff and students who inspire discovery and commitment to learning. Feel free to contact me or any of our departments for further information.
