At the School of Arts & Sciences, we seek students who strive to make themselves and the world around them “ever better”. Our students are guided by some of the nation’s leading faculty in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and have gone on to make an amazing impact in their fields, including, winning a Noble Prize, and becoming an astronaut.
First-year scholars can apply online for early or regular decision using either the Common Application or Coalition for College Application.
Students who transfer to the School of Arts & Sciences are accepted for both the fall and spring semesters, with applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
Prospective students who are not US citizens or permanent residents can apply as international students, which may mean some additional steps.
