School of Arts & Sciences

Mission Statement

The programs of the School of Arts and Sciences, serving both as a foundational component of the Fisher educational experience and as fields of specialized study, cultivate intellectual and ethical judgment and habits of thinking that prepare students to lead lives of integrity and thoughtful engagement in both the public and private spheres. By striving to provide an environment characterized by respect for individual potential, high expectations, and open and critical inquiry, we develop the capacities of our students, ourselves, and our communities.
