Though it awarded bachelor's degrees since the founding, the first masters degree was not offered until 1908. The next year the university was renamed to the Florida State College for Women and issued the first masters degree under that name in 1909. No doctorates were given out by the College of Arts and Sciences until 1952.
The college is housed in several buildings including Dodd Hall, Bellamy, The Psychology Building, and the Longmire building. The Dean of the College of Arts and Scienes is located in the Longmire building.
In July 2011 Joseph Travis stepped down as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in order to further pursue his research interests. Sam Huckaba, previously the associate dean, was placed as interim dean.
