The College of Arts and Science, founded in 1831, is the cornerstone of New York University and its oldest division. As a student at the College, you will study the disciplines that form the basis of all learning — the humanities, the natural and social sciences, fine arts, languages and literature — as you prepare for your personal and professional life after college.
You will find your fellow students outgoing and highly motivated — almost all come from the top 10 percent of their high school classes. While there are 5,700 students enrolled in the College of Arts and Science, the faculty/student ratio is only 1:13, and many classes are seminars and small discussion groups. The professors at the college are among the nation's most prominent scholars, writers, scientists, and researchers, and they all share a deep commitment to undergraduate education.
The College of Arts and Science has an excellent reputation for pre-professional training in law, medicine, dentistry, and business, and approximately 60 percent of the college's graduates go on to advanced study.
