🏫 College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest and most academically diverse at FSU, encompassing nearly 170 major programs of study and nearly 11,000 students. Arts and Sciences faculty and graduate teaching assistants deliver nearly 50 percent of all undergraduate credit hours at FSU annually, both through major coursework and fulfillment of general education requirements. By graduation, nearly every undergrad will have taken at least one course in the college.
Three of FSU’s most populous majors — biology, English, and psychology — are housed in the college, and it’s also home to FSU’s fast-growing undergraduate major in neuroscience and a brand-new interdisciplinary master’s degree program in data science. Among the nearly 100,000 Arts and Sciences alumni are nationally known meteorologists, Pulitzer Prize winners, heads of state and governmental leaders, university presidents, educators, pioneering scientists, business owners and more.
