“To be a Welch Fellow is the highest honor I’ve ever received. It’s enabled me to research and work on my art practice without worrying so much about other distractions in life. Georgia State has been incredible – everyone here wants you to do your best.”

ABOUT THE COLLEGE
The College of Arts and Sciences is at the heart of Georgia State University. We teach the most classes to Georgia State undergraduates, train the largest number of graduate students and drive Georgia State’s ascent as a research university.
We are always working to improve student opportunities. We’ve developed new programs to allow students to get a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in five years in 18 disciplines. We’re increasing our students’ opportunities to study, research, perform and exhibit in the wonderful urban laboratory of Atlanta. And we’re adding new courses with international themes to prepare our students for a global future.
Student success rests on those who teach them and Arts and Sciences students work with a world-class faculty. In the past four years, for example, our faculty has increased its grant funding by 77 percent, despite the fact that the federal government has cut the total number of research funds available.

THE DEAN’S LETTER
The College of Arts and Sciences is at the heart of Georgia State, offering 70 degree programs in subjects ranging from astronomy to philosophy to more than 13,000 students. We are the primary educator of Georgia State undergraduates on the downtown campus and have the largest set of graduate programs, and we are an essential driver in Georgia State’s ascendance as a research university.Arts and Sciences has grown in stature as a hub of scholarly expertise and impactful research. To give just one measure of our growth, our federally sponsored research has doubled within the last five years. Our faculty are, quite literally, working on a cure for cancer and other diseases, discovering new solar systems, addressing the challenges of urbanization, combating the recruitment of young people into terrorist networks, writing award-winning novels, and creating new knowledge to advance our understanding of the world around us.
The college continues to evolve to meet the needs of today’s students and society by preparing the next generation of leaders, researchers, creators, teachers, and thinkers.
Our innovation and progress benefit one of the most diverse student bodies in the nation. By providing students from all backgrounds with a first-class education, we empower our students and their communities to grow and thrive. I look forward to working with our alumni and friends to offer more access to ever more excellent programs as the College of Arts and Sciences advances.
