Faculty of Arts and Sciences

New York City hosts many hubs of study, none older or more distinctive than the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Situated inside Low Memorial Library, 208, the department anchors Columbia’s undergraduate teaching effort along West 116th Street, a short walk from the Hudson.

The building stands at 535 W 116th St, New York, NY 10027, inside the iconic quad designed by McKim, Mead & White.
