Georgetown University College of Arts & Sciences

In the College of Arts & Sciences, students engage in learning and discovery. 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 enable us to remove financial barriers for students; expand the number of first-year seminars; invest in teaching and research; and ensure that students graduate prepared to become principled leaders in an era shaped by AI, global challenges, and interdisciplinary opportunities.

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.
