The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS)[1] of Wayne State University was formed in 2004 with the merger of the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science. CLAS has a number of distinctions as the result of the merger, including being the provider of:

  • The majority of the total undergraduate credit hours in the university
  • The core learning experience throughout the university
  • The requisite math and science for pre-professional undergraduates
  • Strong graduate education at Master’s and PhD levels
  • Nearly half of the PhD degrees awarded in the university
  • Approximately $20 million per year in external grants and contracts
  • Several nationally ranked departments (National Science Foundation and/or National Research Council rankings)

The 2009 fall enrollment in the CLAS is 13,746 students. Total enrollment includes 9,049 full-time and 4,697 part-time students.[2]
