- 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]
