The College of Arts and Sciences
Mission Statement
By pursuing excellence in research and scholarship, we educate our students
to become ethical professionals and citizens with knowledge of and appreciation
for the fundamental interactions among the humanities and the sciences
in a fast-changing, challenging, and diverse world.
About the College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences was established
on July 1, 1990, with the merger of the College of Sciences and the
College of Humanities and Social Sciences. The educational objectives
of the college encompass a wide range of goals: to provide general educational
courses for the University's undergraduates; to provide disciplinary
study in the arts and sciences for our Bachelor of Science and Bachelor
of Arts majors; to offer Master of Science and Doctoral programs in selected
areas of faculty and research strength; to promote research, scholarships,
and creative activities which expand disciplinary boundaries and to enhance
faculty expertise and the quality of the university's instruction; and
to improve the quality of life for the University's community through
co-curricular programming in the arts and sciences.
Each undergraduate major offered by the College of Arts
and Sciences combines disciplinary study with broad and useful preparation
for a variety of careers as well as for further study in graduate or
professional school. Each combines arts and sciences coursework with
an emphasis on new and emerging technologies related to their respective
fields.
All undergraduate majors in the college offer co-operative
education program options, with special opportunities relating academic
study to work experience, or internships.
The college is open to transfer students, but (for undergraduate
students) transfer after the seventh term is not recommended. Applicants
from another Drexel college may be admitted in any term of the academic
year if they meet program requirements. Students should consult the Assistant
Deans of the College of Arts and Sciences for further information. The
College's dedicated staff of professional advisors work to enhance a student's
educational journey through a comprehensive academic advising program.
