Dean Joseph Jones welcomes you to the College of Arts and Sciences. You are invited to browse and observe the academic offerings, faculty achievements, student activities and special programs that characterize the College as a premier academic unit at Huston-Tillotson University (HT). The College’s degree offerings are provided through four departments: Humanities and Fine Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics and Teacher Education and Kinesiology. Through the Core Curriculum students are provided instruction in the basic academic skills that are required for success in the major degree areas. The Core Curriculum program also enables students to develop their writing and speaking skills through active involvement in studio writing and public speaking classes.
Seventy percent of the College’s faculty holds terminal degrees earned in prestigious universities in the United States and abroad. Many faculty members pursue post-doctoral studies yearly to remain abreast of cutting edge knowledge in their academic disciplines. This is beneficial to our students who receive the latest information in their degree areas
Students in the College are taught to solve problems through inquiry and discovery, followed by logical reasoning and analysis. This process is encapsulated in HT’s research day activities in which students present their findings based on research projects pursued in independent studies, internships and portfolio classes.
After reviewing HT’s programs and Services, you are invited to visit the University and receive additional information by meeting some of our faculty, students and staff.

(The W.E.B. Dubois Program)
First inaugurated during the 2003-2004 academic year, the W.E.B. DuBois Honors Program at Huston-Tillotson University is named for Dr. DuBois (1868-1963), a brilliant African American sociologist, historian, civil rights advocate, and intellectual of the twentieth century. Each year, the Honors Program recruits approximately 20 academically gifted first-year students whose high school accomplishments indicate their intellectual ability, level of motivation, and leadership potential. The Honors Program offers students a unique opportunity to enrich their education at Huston-Tillotson University through honors courses, specialized seminars and lectures, networking-mentorship opportunities, and cultural events.
Admission to the Honors Program follows a student’s admission to Huston-Tillotson University and is determined by scores from the SAT/ACT examinations, high school transcripts, and letters of recommendation from high school teachers. The Honors Program accepts students with the following qualifications: minimum SAT-1000; ACT-22; high school GPA- 3.5. Candidates for admission to the Honors Program are also asked to submit a short writing sample and to participate in a telephone interview.
