The College of Arts and Humanities traces to 1918, when the Division of Language and Literature organized. In 1919, it reformed as the School of Liberal Arts. The School of Liberal Arts joined with the School of Chemistry in 1921 to become the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1972, the College disbanded with the creation of the Division of Arts and Humanities. When the Division was abolished in 1986, the College organized under its present name.

In 2010, the College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences formed from the merger of two colleges: the College of Chemical and Life Sciences, and the College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

The College of Chemical and Life Sciences had originated as the Division of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1973, and reorganized as the College of Life Sciences in 1986. From 2005 to 2010, it was named the College of Chemical and Life Sciences.

The College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, in turn, had started in 1973 as the Division of Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences. It reorganized as the College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences in 1986 and retained that name until 2010.

Ten departments offer programs in the College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences: Astronomy; Atmospheric and Oceanic Science; Biology; Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics; Chemistry and Biochemistry; Computer Science; Entomology; Geology; Mathematics; and Physics.

In 1918, the College of Education began as the Division of Vocational Education. In 1919, it reformed as the School of Education and, in 1921, as the College of Education.

Undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs are offered at the College through three departments: Counseling, Higher Education and Special Education; Human Development and Quantitative Methodology; and Teaching and Learning, Policy, and Leadership.

In 1967, the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation formed as the School of Architecture. From 1972 until 1986, it was housed within the Division of Arts and Humanities. It received its present name in 2000.

The School offers an undergraduate program in Architecture; and graduate programs in Architecture, International Studies in Architecture, Historic Preservation, and Urban Studies and Planning.
