The Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is made up of the Division of the Humanities; the Division of the Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering, and Computer Science; and the Division of the Social Sciences. It is an underlying assumption of all liberal arts courses that we must make ourselves aware of, and evaluate, the ends towards which we apply our intellectual efforts and develop our feelings. Liberal arts courses stress the development of clarity of expression, power of discovery, and creative imagination.

Programs in the College of Arts and Sciences are accredited by the American Chemical Society, the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, the American Psychological Association, and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
