Yale-NUS College has launched a new College of Humanities and Sciences.
The new college will bring together the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences to offer a broad-based common curriculum.
NUS began experimenting with liberal arts education in 1998 with the introduction of the Core Curriculum. Renamed the University Scholars Programme three years later, it enables 200 undergraduates a year from seven faculties to explore topics outside their major subject.
For NUS, Yale was an ideal partner to reimagine liberal arts education. Yale-NUS College would provide a rigorous broad-based education and accelerate the pace of educational innovation in NUS and Singapore.
