One day to go! πŸŽ“ This week, we're walking down memory lane with some of our FSU College of Arts & Sciences' graduates. Psychology major Maria Gullesserian shares why the process of preparing materials for a research study through the FSU Department of Psychology was her most meaningful experience at Florida State University. The study examines political conformity, or when individuals conform to the beliefs of a group, and how it manifests among different people.

β€œAfter all the hard work I put into research labs during my undergraduate studies, this moment was particularly meaningful, as it reminded me of the rewarding outcomes that perseverance can bring.”

Postgraduation, Maria will continue work on the study alongside her research mentor, assistant professor of psychology David March, while awaiting acceptance to doctoral programs.

Congratulations, Maria!

Our Story

The oldest college at Florida State University, the College of Arts and Sciences has provided generations of undergraduate students instruction in the liberal arts disciplines that are essential for intellectual development and personal growth: English and mathematics, history, the humanities, and the physical, biological, and behavioral sciences. At the graduate level, too, the contributions of the college have been integral to the growth of the university.

The College of Arts and Sciences awarded its first recorded master's degree in 1908, the year before the Florida Female College was renamed the Florida State College for Women. It also awarded the first Florida State College for Women's master's degree in 1909. The first doctorate at Florida State University was awarded in chemistry in 1952.

In addition to awarding bachelor of science (BS), bachelor of arts (BA), master of science (MS), master of arts (MA), and doctor of philosophy (PhD) degrees, and heavily supporting the Liberal Studies Program, the College of Arts and Sciences offers an extensive array of foundation courses for preprofessional and professional programs.

College of Arts and Sciences faculty members have earned national and international recognition for research, teaching, and distinguished service to the profession. The faculty of the college has included seven members of the National Academy of Sciences, three Nobel laureates, a Pulitzer Prize winner, directors of national commissions, university presidents, and numerous winners of other national or international honors. Locally, university committees have named several arts and sciences faculty Eppes Professors, and more than two dozen of the college's faculty have been selected University Distinguished Professors. More than 125 arts and sciences faculty members have won University Teaching and Advising awards, Developing Scholar awards, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Distinguished Scholar awards.

Students in the College of Arts and Sciences have been recipients of a variety of honors, including Rhodes, Truman, and Goldwater scholarships; Rotary awards; Fulbright, McKnight, and Patricia Roberts Harris fellowships; professional society scholarships; and other nationally recognized awards. Among the graduates of the college are scientists; writers; doctors; chief executive officers of major corporations; lawyers; school and college teachers; and university administrators.
