ARTS & SCIENCES - wordmark

The College of Arts and Sciences is the first and largest college at the university, and is the intellectual core of the university. Faculty, staff and students conduct research, scholarship, creative work and education in more than 60 fields across the natural sciences, social sciences and arts and humanities.  

Our work generates new knowledge, solving some of the world’s most critical problems. The college leads nationally in undergraduate and graduate education, bringing world-class research and scholarship to our students, both in and out of the classroom, developing a diverse global community of the 21st century.
