The New York University College of Arts & Science is a private liberal arts college established in 1832. It is located within the larger research university of New York University at Washington Square in New York City. As the oldest and largest school at NYU, the College of Arts & Science currently enrolls 7,030 undergraduate students (as of March 23, 2015). The College of Arts and Science offers Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees.
The history of the College of Arts and Science begins with the founding of the University by a number of prominent New Yorkers, led by Albert Gallatin, a member of Jefferson’s cabinet. Unlike other institutions at the time, it was to be nonsectarian and to produce a different sort of elite citizen, not born to privilege but set apart for leadership by talent and effort. To that end it provided a more practical education, what the 19th century called "Useful Knowledge." A comprehensive overview of the College’s history is available on the College website: http://cas.nyu.edu/page/aboutcas
The College provides an undergraduate liberal arts education through its Core Curriculum, which is designed to prepare students to thrive in their major programs of study. Undergraduate students may select from 66 majors as well as a host of accelerated Bachelor’s-Master’s and pre-professional programs offered through 30 departments, most of which also offer courses at NYU’s 13 study away sites. Additionally, students may select from over 60 minors offered within the College; they may also choose 40 cross-school minors at other schools within NYU. Entrance to the college is very competitive: in 2014, the average SAT score was 1440 (Critical Reading and Math), and only 1 out of 16 applicants were admitted.
