With a major or minor in the School of Arts and Sciences, you'll learn to communicate effectively, think critically and gain real-world skills in and outside the classroom to apply to a broad range of careers.

Choose from one of dozens of majors and minors, spanning traditional liberal arts and professional programs.

You'll benefit from small class sizes, working one-on-one with professors who are experts in their fields. You won't just be taking tests and writing papers; you'll be getting hands-on, real-world experience through faculty-student research, internships, conference presentations and more.

Our graduates find jobs with top companies and nonprofits in the U.S. and abroad, in the arts and in government. They are admitted to elite graduate schools and professional programs in law, medicine and more. Whatever you want to be, we can help get you there.
