College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) centers and institutes form focal points for diverse interdisciplinary activities within the College and beyond. They create pinnacles of academic excellence in specific areas of interest and respond to unique scholarly opportunities to connect LAS to outside institutions and communities. Our seven institutes and centers help us stay on the frontier of knowledge in emerging areas.
