With 930 scholars and scientists, and 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students, the Faculty of Arts & Science is a university within a university. One of the few faculties in the world to combine the strengths of three major sectors—the humanities, sciences and social sciences—we serve as a vast, cross-disciplinary hub for research, learning and innovation.
The campaign for the Faculty of Arts & Science seeks a total of $325 million to expand the Faculty’s global leadership across critical areas of knowledge and develop the talent, ideas and solutions for the defining challenges of our time. The cornerstone of this initiative is a $75-million component to prepare global citizens: $25 million to expand our innovative undergraduate programs and $25 million each to bolster undergraduate and graduate scholarships.
As of May 2017, Arts & Science has reached $271.5 million towards our goal thanks to the generous support of our donors.
