ABOUT THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

The College of Arts and Sciences is at the heart of Howard University, recognized worldwide as a premier, comprehensive research university.

The College is often referred to as the flagship of the university because it is the oldest and the largest of the University’s 12 schools and colleges. Its predecessor was founded in the second year of the University’s existence, and today it enrolls more than 3,000 students—making it the most popular choice among Howard’s undergraduates.

The College of Arts and Sciences comprises four divisions: Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences.
