Phil and Martha Bachman College of Arts and Sciences

The Phil and Martha Bachman College of Arts & Sciences has been the heart of academics at ETSU since its inception over 60 years ago.  As the largest college at ETSU, we are home to 18 academic departments, three centers of excellence, and three museums and galleries, which encompass 18 buildings across campus.

Our nearly 4,000 students majoring within the Phil and Martha Bachman College of Arts & Sciences, make up almost 30% of the total student body. The College also educates 100% of all first-year students through the teaching of general education courses.  Students begin their journey at ETSU in the Phil and Martha Bachman College of Arts & Sciences and determine their future course with the assistance of our caring and committed faculty.
