College of Arts & Sciences
In the College of Arts & Sciences, students engage in learning and discovery—both of new knowledge and of themselves. With world-class teaching and research supported by core commitments to social responsibility, the College fosters deep and sustained collaboration among faculty and students, cultivating lifelong learners with the capabilities of 21st century leaders.
Investments in the College are investments in the fundamental importance of a liberal arts education. Philanthropy will ensure that our students graduate prepared to make their mark on the world, having learned from world-class scholars, collaborated with diverse cohorts of peers, engaged in research and creative projects, and addressed global problems with an interdisciplinary approach.
A cornerstone for the whole university
What began as our institution’s sole school and foundation is now home to more than 500 accomplished full-time faculty and over 3,500 undergraduate students with 48 distinct majors. It remains a cornerstone for the university as a whole: College faculty typically provide more than 70% of all credits taken by main campus undergraduate students, including students at the McDonough School of Business and the Walsh School of Foreign Service.
