The College of Arts and Sciences is at the heart of the University of San Diego. Our philosophy is built on the enduring values of the Catholic intellectual tradition: free inquiry, ethical conduct and compassionate service. The College aims to create an environment where students gain a comprehensive education that spans the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences. Through our exemplary liberal arts education, we aspire to not only educate the mind but also develop the whole person with 21st century experiential learning and interdisciplinary opportunities.
