Carolina's Liberal Arts Advantage:
Discovery Across the Disciplines
As the largest and oldest school at UNC-Chapel Hill, the College of Arts and Sciences forms the core of the Carolina experience: an unsurpassed liberal-arts education within a world-class research university.
All Carolina undergraduates spend their first two years in the College, within a rigorous curriculum of requirements and electives spanning the arts and sciences. This degree of immersion in the liberal arts is rare among major research universities.
What's more, more than 70 percent of undergraduates choose their major field of studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. And about 22 percent of all graduate and professional students are in the College, the largest percentage of graduate students at the University.
Through the College, undergraduate and graduate students enjoy unusual opportunities to work closely with extraordinary professors who excel in both teaching and research. Top scholars discuss and test ideas with their students in classes, seminars, research projects, independent studies, service work and field trips around the world.
All of the programs in the College of Arts and
Sciences expose students to ideas and experiences crossing academic and
cultural boundaries. We believe this is more important than ever and
offers the best preparation for enlightened citizenship, leadership and
service in the 21st century.
The College supports the University's core values
encouraging diversity and equal educational and employment
opportunities throughout the University community. These values are
articulated in the University's non-discrimination
policy and by the office of Diversity
and Multicultural Affairs.
