History

See main article: History of Georgia Regents University. When it first formed, Augusta College offered degrees in science and another in the arts, providing the foundation for what eventually became the College of Arts and Sciences within the university.^[6]

The college is now named after Robert B. Pamplin, Sr.'s wife Katherine, who graduated from Augusta College.^[7] Originally, it was called the Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences, but split in the summer of 2012 into two parts so the Deans could have a narrower focus. The College of Science and Mathematics sprung from the division, with the Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences stemming from everything else.^[8]
