Prospective Students
The limited-enrolment Arts & Science Program brings students together in an intimate intellectual environment that encourages collaborative learning not only between students, but also between students and faculty and between faculty members as well. The Program stresses active and self-directed learning and interdisciplinarity, with emphasis on the development of skills of analysis, evaluation, synthesis and communication.
The Program is also unique in offering an extensive integrated core curriculum, designed specifically and exclusively for its students, that bridges the divide not only between the arts and the sciences but also between academia and public concern. A great many of its graduates go on to graduate or professional schools in a wide variety of fields.
Is the Arts & Science program right for you?
The answer may be yes if…
you have enjoyed your studies and interests in both the arts and the sciences and want to continue them;
you value opportunities to develop skills such as communication, inquiry and critical thinking that support intellectual activities;
you would look forward to being a member of a small class of very able peers who are dedicated to academic and extracurricular activities.
