LAS is the academic home for nearly a quarter of ISU’s student body. The college also provides most of the university’s core required courses, which means nearly every Iowa State student takes courses in LAS. Academic rigor and a supportive environment prepare students for success as global citizens and innovators of the future. Our students are tomorrow’s leaders in emerging and high-demand fields like data science, artificial intelligence, climate science, and genetics.
Since 2018, LAS has awarded $639,500 in LAS Dean’s High Impact Awards for Undergraduate Research to financially support student researchers.
College faculty and staff know that today’s students aspire to successful careers after graduation. LAS invests in a robust Career Services program to help students gain and leverage their skills and knowledge into careers. Programs like Languages and Cultures for Professionals combine language learning with intensive cultural exploration and internships in another country to prepare students for careers in a global workforce.
Pulse, a student advisory council, provides monthly insight and feedback to the LAS dean about issues and opportunities, to help perpetuate continuous improvement.
