School of Arts and Sciences
The School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) was opened in 1951 with 130 students enrolled in various offerings namely: liberal arts, commerce, education, associate in arts, pre-law, secretarial, and elementary teacher's certificate program. In subsequent years, other college programs were added. After the University obtained University status in 1977, a number of other programs were included in the list.
At the present, the SAS offers different degree programs both at the undergraduate and graduate level. The SAS is subdivided into four clusters namely: Computer Studies, Humanities and Letters, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social Science; each administered by an Assistant Dean.
Each division has their own unique mascot, namely: Phoenix (Humanities and Letters), Falcon (Natural Science and Mathematics), Dragon (Social Science) and Chameleon (Computer Science).
