Who We Are

In the College of Arts and Science, we pursue both personal discovery and world-scale impact to address the most enduring challenges of our time. Through research, teaching, and service, we explore deeply, encourage curiosity, forge connections, and cross boundaries. We are informed by the art and inspired by the science of how the world works and what makes us human.

When art + science come together, anything is possible.
