About the College
The College of Arts and Sciences is at the heart of Georgia State. 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 amount of research funds available.
