Support community. Provide new opportunities and tools for everyone to succeed.

We start by placing students at the center of every initiative. They are freshmen living away from home, commuters, professionals retooling skills, the first generation in their family to go to college, returning learners, athletes, honors scholars, employees, residents of Cleveland, the region, the world—and a whole lot more. We recognize a multiplicity of experience and acknowledge an array of needs. We commit to being a clear pathway to careers that transform lives and strengthen communities. We are Arts & Sciences at CSU.

Grow partnerships. Enhance the academic experience. Advance the city and the region.

With nearly 40 undergrad programs, 16 grad programs, 175 full-time faculty, and thousands of alumni, A&S knows people. Looking for an internship or opportunity to build skills and grow a resume? We’ve got something in every program. Want to work for the Cleveland Museum of Art, Playhouse Square, Sherwin Williams, the Cleveland Clinic, or a host of other corporations, institutions, and non-profits addressing social and economic challenges? We commit to regional leadership in work-based learning. We are Arts & Sciences at CSU.

Maximize flexibility & adaptability. Promote wise stewardship of resources. Invest in the future.

We bridge silos, creating a Division of Interdisciplinary and General Studies, with 11 new integrated degrees. We grow sustainably, through restructured staffing, incentivized budgets, data-informed decision-making, and outcomes-based assessment. We focus on tomorrow so you can concentrate on today. We are Arts & Sciences at CSU.
