Welcome to the College of Arts & Human Sciences (CAHS)

I am proud to be a member of the UW-Stout academic community and honored by the trust given to me as I serve as our College’s dean. Our College of Arts & Human Sciences is wide reaching academically, connected with a united thread focused on impact. Our impact is geared toward making meaningful, positive differences in the lives of our students, on the state of knowledge globally, and in the health, quantity and quality of lives for all humanity. 

Growing up in a tool-and-die manufacturing family rooted in the Midwest, I realized early on the importance of measuring twice and cutting once (that early training worked on carbide, lumber or decision making). The polytechnic roots here at UW-Stout align well with my life’s paths—and the paths of our students. Our lab spaces and emphasis on applied study coupled with the near endless creativity to solve complex problems inspires me daily.

We are truly a community of doers.

If you have not yet done so, I’d encourage you to attend our events, talk with our community and connect with us so we can continue to evolve Wisconsin and the world to meet our future potential.

~ Jason Schmitt, Dean
