At Carolina, teaching, learning and research are transformative processes by which we invent a better future. There is synergy in pairing diverse and sometimes unexpected disciplines.

Our new ampersand combines an ‘A’ and an ‘S’ to emphasize that the education we provide is both broad and deep, encompassing the arts <\/em>and the sciences<\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When we talk about taking on the world\u2019s grand challenges, we recognize that complex problems need to be approached from all perspectives in the arts and the sciences. They require the collaboration of scientists, humanists, artists, entrepreneurs and technologists.<\/p>\n

We are striving to remove the traditional academic silos to \u201cunleash\u201d such new thinking and interdisciplinary opportunities. From courses that encourage team teaching across disciplines to our renowned research centers in which innovation thrives to dynamic new facilities like our BeAM makerspaces, we are bringing the diverse and eclectic members of the College community together\u2014faculty, staff and students across disciplines\u2014to think, communicate, collaborate and create.<\/p>\n

We want the College of Arts and Sciences to be a catalyst for the convergence of ideas, people, programs and connections to spark greater synergy and compelling results\u2014with life-changing implications.<\/p>\n
