College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences prepares students for success in a constantly changing and evolving world. With over 100 academic programs, we offer the most diverse array of courses at NKU – courses that inspire students to creatively solve problems, communicate across cultural barriers and make a difference in the world.


A gift to the College of Arts and Sciences supports opportunities like…

  The College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Fund prioritizes high-impact practices such as undergraduate research, service-learning and first-year seminars, and puts students first with retention scholarships and emergency aid.

  CAS Study Abroad Scholarships allow students to take courses, conduct research and perform around the globe, gaining skills and experiences that will set them up for their future careers. 

  UR-STEM provides a paid summer research opportunity for early-career students and those historically underrepresented in STEM fields.

  School of the Arts (SOTA) provides interdisciplinary instruction in art & design, music, and theatre & dance and gives students the skills to turn their passions into professions.


The College of Arts and Sciences focuses on creativity and critical thinking. Your investment in our programs and initiatives supports the dreams of current and future generations of NKU students.
