Whether you are new or returning, we are delighted to welcome you to the College of Arts and Sciences! With 38 departments and schools and 75 majors, our college offers you unlimited opportunities. From Anthropology to Zoology and from World Literature to Dance, we encourage you to explore, to question, and to create in innovative ways. You will not only uncover the many benefits of a large university, but life-long friendships that emerge from taking part in the many smaller groups that make up our college community. Along with your fellow students, you are embarking on an exciting and transformational experience. We look forward to sharing that journey with you.

Campus Life Tips

There are many places to study on campus. In a 2011 poll students told us they preferred to study in the Thompson Library. If you haven't been there, be certain to visit the second floor Grand Reading Room as well as the eleventh floor for a stunning view of the Oval. Take a video tour. You have many libraries to choose from. Map of library locations and hours.
