Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is home to more students and programs than any other academic college on campus. Its programs are diverse and intriguing, encompassing everything from history and mathematics to modern languages, criminal justice and more. And while Fairmount College prepares students for meaningful careers with measurable, hard skills, it goes beyond that, teaching them to love to learn, communicate and discover. A gift to Fairmount College is an investment in a new generation of career-ready professionals and well-rounded leaders.
Even though Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the oldest academic college at Wichita State, it has continued to innovate to stay relevant and responsive in a fast-changing world. One way is by ensuring every degree offered has applied learning or research opportunities built-in. These activities give students practical experience while helping them build relationships in their fields of study. Whether students dream of working in front of a television camera or in a chemistry lab, they can experience it – not just read about it.
As our world becomes more complex, it demands thinkers and leaders who can meet the moment. A liberal arts education was made for times exactly like these. We teach students to learn, to lead and to think independently and boldly for the betterment of our communities. Your gift keeps this special kind of education accessible and flexible for the leaders who will solve tomorrow’s problems.
At right: Wichita State has a long tradition of faculty who inspire bright, talented and hard-working students to reach their full potential. Watch how Professor Dr. Will Parcell is going above and beyond during an unprecedented time.
