[00:00:03.136]Greetings and welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences.
[00:00:06.339]The original founding college of the university.
[00:00:10.210]We are home to the humanities, natural and mathematical sciences,
[00:00:13.980]social sciences and unique interdisciplinary programs.
[00:00:18.118]Our unifying thread is that we are dedicated to seeking truth,
[00:00:21.755]advancing knowledge, and deepening our understanding of humanity.
[00:00:26.393]We are all about letting curiosity move students to do big things.
[00:00:31.831]Our mission is to inspire, challenge, and help prepare students
[00:00:35.702]to be innovators, leaders, lifelong learners,
[00:00:39.105]and informed citizens through a comprehensive liberal arts education.
[00:00:43.143]With a focus on experiential learning.
[00:00:46.046]With a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences, students have the knowledge,
[00:00:49.582]skills and cultural awareness necessary to flourish
[00:00:52.919]in a rapidly changing global environment.
[00:00:56.056]This means that our students will cultivate and expand their abilities
[00:01:00.293]to think independently and critically, communicate clearly,
[00:01:03.863]and work collaboratively with diverse groups of people.
[00:01:07.801]Students are empowered to shape their own education
[00:01:10.703]through a flexible and customizable degree.
[00:01:14.240]Our outstanding academic advisors and career coaches
[00:01:17.143]connect students to the resources and the opportunities that enable them
[00:01:21.381]to explore and develop their talents and potential.
[00:01:25.285]Many incoming students and their parents are rightly concerned
[00:01:28.288]about the cost of higher education and the return on investment
[00:01:32.492]based on numerous employer surveys that are conducted every year.
[00:01:36.429]We know that students with a liberal arts and science degree
[00:01:39.732]have a unique competitive advantage.
[00:01:43.436]Employers are consistently ranking critical
[00:01:46.272]and creative thinking, strong communication skills and the ability
[00:01:50.410]to work collaboratively as the key skills they're looking for.
[00:01:54.614]They are seeking innovators who can look at problems
[00:01:57.083]from multiple frames of reference and diverse points of view.
[00:02:01.221]Our interdisciplinary education equips students
[00:02:03.590]with these high demand and transferable skills.
[00:02:08.495]We emphasize the importance
[00:02:10.096]of experiential learning in the College of Arts and Sciences.
[00:02:13.299]Every student will have at least one transformative,
[00:02:16.603]hands on learning experience during their time at UNL.
[00:02:19.472]Whether that's in the lab, in the field, through an internship,
[00:02:23.376]a significant service commitment or an education abroad opportunity.
[00:02:28.414]And I'd like to leave you with this last thought.
[00:02:30.550]Our competitive advantage
[00:02:32.452]is that we are the flagship research university in the state, giving students
[00:02:36.523]the unique opportunity for one on one interaction
[00:02:39.592]and then mentoring from experts in their field.
[00:02:43.062]In the College of Arts and Sciences, we combine the competitive advantages
[00:02:46.599]of being part of a prestigious Big Ten academic alliance with a close
[00:02:50.803]and caring community that is embodied in the principle that every person
[00:02:54.941]and every interaction matters.
[00:02:57.644]Thank you for spending time
[00:02:58.645]with us and for learning more about the College of Arts and Sciences.
