About

Opportunity Abounds

The College of Arts and Sciences is comprised of four divisions: Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences.

A broad and balanced curriculum is offered among its 21 degree-granting programs. The curriculum of the College is designed to meet the needs and interests of a diverse, multicultural student body.

A liberal education, in the traditional sense, is the central focus of programs that provide opportunities for exploring modern technologies and gives attention to the College’s historical concern and sensitivity to social justice.

The College is located on the main campus, a setting that fosters a variety of academic and social activities for students.

Broad Experiences

A formal faculty-advising program augments the low student-faculty ratio and encourages student contact with faculty from a variety of personal and intellectual perspectives.

These contacts are enhanced further through departmental organizations and student associations.

Washington, DC, the nation’s capital, supplements campus academic and extracurricular resources with an inexhaustible pool of cultural, political, and recreational opportunities. Through the undergraduate experience inside and outside the classroom, students acquire expertise in their chosen fields of study; strengthen and refine their powers of communication, reasoning, and judgment; and increase their capacities to lead productive, responsible lives.
