Catherine S. Sweet, Assistant Dean of Assessment and Administration

The School of Arts and Sciences, in partnership with the other schools that make up St. John Fisher University, provides educational experiences rooted in the liberal arts that prepare students to lead lives of intellectual, professional, and civic integrity. This is accomplished by the following:

• Providing opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to develop proficiency in one or more of the major fields of study housed within the School.
• Promoting the engagement of students, faculty members, and professional staff within a learning environment that creates high expectations, along with the support for all to achieve their full potential.

In addition, the academic programs in the School of Arts and Sciences are primarily responsible for the University’s Core Curriculum, the component of the undergraduate curriculum that affirms the centrality of the liberal arts in the academic experience of all undergraduate students.
