Columbian College of Arts and Sciences

Our students pour their hearts into their work (students poring plaster into mold)

 The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) is the academic heart of the George

Washington University. As practitioners of “the engaged liberal arts,” Columbian College opens minds.

At Columbian College, students inhabit the space where the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences converge.

Students meet tomorrow's challenges here, and they need your support.
