Programs

The College of Arts and science has over 125 majors and minors. The school itself houses the most majors at EMU. Some of the notable CAS programs include the Historic Preservation program under the Department of Geography and Geology and the Forensics program under the School of Communication, Media and Theatre Arts.

Forensics

EMU is home to one of the nation's most successful forensics (competitive speech) teams. The EMU Forensics team, currently ranked 4th in the nation, has the distinction of being the only program in the country to place in the top 10 at every NFA national championship since they began in 1971.[5] The EMU forensics team has won 10 team national championships and 69 individual national championships. With 38 out of a possible 40 state championships, the team is the foremost forensics competitive team in the state of Michigan. This reputation has been enhanced by the fact that EMU competitors have won over 200 individual state championships.

Historic preservation

EMU's historic preservation program, in the Department of Geography and Geology, is the nation's largest historical preservation graduate program, and the only one in Michigan.[6][7] Founded in 1979 with support from a grant from the Preservation Education Fund of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the program has won widespread recognition, including a Certificate of Commendation in 1989 from the American Association of State & Local History, co-hosting the Third Global Congress in Heritage Interpretation in 1991, hosting the 1997 meeting of the Pioneer America Society,[6][8][9] and the 2009 Michigan Historic Preservation Network Government/Institutional Award.[6][10] With the abolition of Michigan's Department of History, Arts, and Libraries, the EMU historic preservation program will take over preparation of text for the Michigan Historical Marker Program.[6][11][12]

Music

Teaching of music began at Michigan State Normal School in the second year of operation. In 1881, the State Board of Education authorized the creation of a Conservatory of Music, located on a site where Boone Hall now stands (across from the water tower, on cross st.). Because of this new modern building, the music program began to grow and thrive at Michigan State Normal School. When more music students came to learn and perform at MSNC, the administration decided that the conservatory of music was not sufficient anymore for the current demand the college was drawing for music. The board of regents hired Smith, Hinchman, & Grylls, Detroit to construct the building. After taking about three years to complete, Pease auditorium would now house musical events of all kinds. The music program continued to grow. The music program today has about 1,100 students at Eastern Michigan University and has classes in Alexander hall as well as Pease auditorium.[13]
