The New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences (also referred to as simply New College) is one of two arts and science colleges within Arizona State University. The college resembles a traditional liberal arts and science college, but with an interdisciplinary focus, in which faculty are grouped into broad divisions rather than discipline-specific departments.[1] As of the 2009-2010 academic year, the New College is home to approximately 2400 students[2] and 120 faculty.[3] The college is headquartered on ASU's west campus.

Degree programs

New College houses 26 degree programs leading to Bachelor's and Master's degrees in the liberal arts and sciences.[4] Many of the degree programs are unique to the college within the larger university. Academic programs are divided among three "divisions:" Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies, Mathematical and Natural Sciences, and Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Research

Being within a research university, New College is research-oriented,[5] with a particular focus on involving undergraduate students,[6] and with research on interdisciplinary topics. New College faculty are members of the ASU Graduate Faculty, and may advise Ph.D. students in doctoral programs in each faculty member's respective academic field.[7]
