The School of Letters and Sciences offers a liberal arts core curriculum on the Downtown Phoenix campus and a university-wide bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies. We provide foundational instruction in humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences for all students on the Downtown Phoenix campus, and we are invested in the development of learning-centered coursework for students in the College of Nursing and Healthcare Innovation, College of Public Programs, and Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

The School of Letters and Sciences is designed to respond to the needs of ASU students, faculties of the downtown schools and colleges, the challenges of higher education, and our constituent communities. Guiding principles of the school are embedded student success programs, strategic partnerships both inside the university and in the community, and interdisciplinary inquiry.
