School of Arts & Sciences

Home of the Liberal Arts at Edgewood College, the School of Arts & Sciences contains fifteen departments offering a wide range of majors and minors in the arts, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences. We encourage students to investigate these programs in the pages that follow and on our websites (starting with https://www.edgewood.edu/academics/schools/school-of-arts-and-sciences) to see the kind of academic homes our departments can provide.

Students will have the opportunity to explore the varied fields within this School while taking many of their General Education courses. Each of these courses is an opportunity to pursue the learning outcomes that define our cornerstones, ways of knowing, COR, and perspectives, which together comprise the essence of an Edgewood College education. Each also provides the chance to explore new ways of thinking, and to discover interests students may not have known they have.

The liberal arts contribute to the intellectual life of Edgewood College through the creation of art, the development of knowledge, and the cultivation of wisdom. The School of Arts & Sciences invites all students to seize the opportunity to learn and thrive in our programs. Become part of our intellectual community and make your contribution to the life of the mind.
