The College of Arts and Sciences is a diverse community of educators, students, and researchers from across the country and around the world who work together to advance the boundaries of human knowledge, foster critical thinking skills, promote intellectual inquiry, and develop an understanding of different human cultures necessary to become engaged global citizens.
These goals compel a commitment to creativity and inquiry free of bias and based upon the principles of objective scholarship. They require a responsibility to promote and convey those elements of the liberal arts and sciences that must be essential components of the educational goals of all units of the university. The college seeks richness through diversity of its programs and strength through erudition.
The College of Arts & Sciences is the university's largest and oldest; it teaches the most students, and provides the backbone for Troy University's educational and research missions. As a result, you will find a broad array of academic programs that will prepare you for careers in public and private sectors as well as post-graduate and professional schools. These programs emphasize the core values of a classic liberal arts education, as well as the skills and flexibility one will need to meet the challenges of the 21st-century workplace.
A degree from the College of Arts & Sciences is much more than preparation for a career—it is preparation for a complete, rich, and rewarding life.
In addition to general studies courses, major courses and minor courses, sufficient free electives should be chosen to total at least 120 hours.
As part of ongoing planning and evaluation, the College of Arts and Sciences regularly evaluates student learning outcomes for each degree program.
College of Arts & Sciences Global Scholars Program (Troy Campus)
The College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) Global Scholars Program is designed to enhance cultural, global, and international competency among the University's College of Arts & Sciences students who are interested in furthering their own international awareness and global preparedness.
Program benefits include:
- Designation of Global Scholar appearing both on student diplomas and transcripts attesting to the graduate's international awareness and global preparedness.
- Meaningful international travel experience for the purpose of research abroad in the student's chosen field of study.
- Regular interaction with international students on campus at Troy University.
- Strong relationships with mentors here at Troy University, which will produce highly trained graduates with the connections needed to compete for jobs and funded graduate programs.
- Early registration privileges, allowing CAS Global Scholars to register in the first group of students.
Additional information and a link to the application form can be found on the program website at https://www.troy.edu/casglobalscholars.

Option 2– 18 Hours
Transfer of *Specialized technical courses. (not to exceed 18 semester hours.) *Specialized technical courses.
*Specialized technical courses.
Credit will be awarded for specialized technical knowledge based upon American Council
of Education (A.C.E.) credit recommendations or transfer work from regionally accredited
(Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Middle States Association of Colleges
and Schools, etc.) post- secondary community college, or technical schools as approved
by the Academic Council. Specializations are not available in fields of study that
are offered through Troy University as majors, programs, or minors, e.g., nursing,
computer science, information systems, or education. Exceptions to the use of a Troy
University minor are the programs in Aviation Operations and Advanced Professional
Flight. Program requirements for either minor may be used to satisfy the 18 hours
of specialized technical courses.
Eligibility
Eligibility for enrollment in one of the applied science degree programs is dependent upon prior education and/or experience. Before enrollment in one of the programs, official documentation of prior learning must be submitted to determine eligibility. All post-secondary technical school transfer students must complete all courses required in the institution's curriculum and earn (if appropriate) a diploma or certificate before being granted admission into the resources management degree program. No additional credit will be awarded for the possession of a license (i.e., all credit awarded is based on documentation of training and evaluation leading to the issue of a license, not the mere possession of a license). All credit from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), accredited post secondary technical schools, and/or American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations will be considered junior college credit except where specifically recommended by ACE for upper-division credit. No credit will be awarded until six semester hours of academic credit has been earned at Troy University. At least 50 percent of the degree program must be traditional academic credit at the 3300/4400 level. Curriculum: The academic curricula taught by the university have been developed to supplement, not duplicate, the vocational/technical training or other experiential learning the individual may possess in a manner designed to provide these individuals greater career opportunities.
Biology Education
Students seeking Alabama teacher certification should select biology as a first major and education as a second major. Students should consult with their advisers concerning all certification requirements.
Biology Major
(44 Hours)
*Special Topics in Biology (BIO 4476), Guided Independent Studies (BIO 4491/4492) and Guided Independent Research (BIO 4493, 4494) may only be taken for a maximum of 6 semester hours.
Specialized General Studies Requirements
General studies requirements for the biology, environmental science, biomedical sciences,
and marine biology programs and the biology major total 64 semester hours. See the
General Studies section of this catalog for complete general studies information.
