College of Arts & Science - University of Saskatchewan

Established in 1908, the College of Arts & Science continues to be the largest and most dynamic college on the University of Saskatchewan's campus. As the oldest college at the U of S, our enrollment has witnessed exponential expansion from the 70 students who first attended classes in downtown Saskatoon’s Drinkle Building to the nearly 8,000 students we serve today. With more than 45 per cent of the total student population at the U of S, we are comprised of 22 departments, 4 affiliated programs and 15 interdisciplinary programs, all taught by more than 300 faculty members. Arts and Science provides approximately half of the undergraduate courses offered at the U of S, with 60 subject areas grouped into four program types: Humanities, Social Sciences, Science and Fine Arts.

Our college is unique in that it is one of only a few in Canada to combine arts and science course offerings within the same college. This integrated approach provides students with an invaluable, broad and in-depth perspective of the world that enhances one’s focus on individual disciplines.

We aim to create a space where readers can exchange intelligent and informed commentary. We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point politely. A few things we won't tolerate on our Facebook wall: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes) and commercial promotion. While most comments will remain posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can.
