Greetings! Welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences at The Catholic University of America.  Thank you for visiting our college.

Here in the College of Arts and Sciences you will find the highest levels of academic rigor, research, and artistic creativity combined with a deeply meaningful educational experience that seeks to build both mind and human spirit. We are a college that cultivates leaders in the humanities, sciences, and performing arts.

As the largest academic unit in The Catholic University of America, the College of Arts and Sciences has a distinctive set of commitments to research and teaching. Four strategic divisions, each consisting of multiple departments, and a performing arts school make up the College of Arts & Sciences and create a sense of common purpose:

• Division of Integrated Sciences: Departments of Mathematics and Statistics; Biology; and Chemistry
• Division of Politics and Global Studies: Departments of Politics and Global Studies
• Division of Humanities: Departments of English; History and Anthropology; Ancient and Medieval Languages and Cultures
• Division of Social Sciences: Departments of Information Sciences; Psychology; and Economics, Education, and Sociology
• Benjamin T. Rome School of Performing Arts: Departments of Drama and Music

Through this unique structure, we are committed to a distinctive set of priorities that allow us to pursue research excellence and curricular innovation. Our faculty excel in teaching, research, and service, and through a divisional system, they and their students can continue their specialized focus while also gaining access to broader collaborative opportunities.  

Our location within Washington, DC offers unparalleled access to internships, career opportunities, and a rich cultural and academic environment. The city's robust network of government, nonprofit, and international organizations offers students unique learning and professional development opportunities. There is nothing that compares to the student experience in Washington, D.C. 

As an alumna of The Catholic University of America, I know firsthand what it is like to be a student at the university. A strong heritage, lasting relationships, and an institution committed to serving students, the Church, and society with great distinction is what sets us apart. I invite you to explore what the College of Arts and Sciences at The Catholic University of America has to offer.
