The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS), the original foundation of The George Washington University, incorporates a number of academic interests: humanities and foreign language, social sciences, math and sciences, arts, and preprofessional studies. With nearly 50 majors and 65 minors to choose from, undergraduates have the opportunity to explore multiple areas of interest thereby offering very flexible and individualized courses of study.

Columbian College students may pursue specialized topics of interest as well as conduct research in areas that interest them. First year students have the unique opportunity to study innovative topics at the forefront of research through Dean's Seminars with accomplished faculty in small classes. For juniors and seniors, undergraduate research is encouraged and supported through the Luther Rice Research Fellowships. In addition, students may focus their study beyond or in combination with their major through a number of special programs such as the Dean's Scholars in Globalization, the Shakespeare Scholars, and accelerated programs leading to a master's degree, an M.D., or a J.D.
