Exceptional research is taking place within the 17 departments and seven interdisciplinary programs that make up the School of Arts and Sciences’ divisions of humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, advancing knowledge and scholarship in service to the Catholic Church and our country, and maintaining the University’s standing as a leading national institution.
Along with the 1,379 undergraduates and 497 graduate students currently enrolled in Arts and Sciences concentrations, all of the University’s 3,300-plus undergraduates are served by the school’s faculty, who lead them through the new core curriculum. This revitalized program of study was established in 2018 around a series of enduring questions exploring the human condition, knowledge and wisdom, freedom and justice, the good life, and God.
Through Light the Way: The Campaign for Catholic University, the School of Arts and Sciences will illuminate and form a brighter future by renewing its commitment to our faithful vision and mission, seizing the opportunity afforded by this extraordinary moment in the life of our University.
