Organization Mission and Vision
The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) provides the general educational foundation for the undergraduate curriculum at the University at Albany and is the intellectual center for study in a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate level programs.
With 46 undergraduate majors and 27 graduate level programs, CAS is the largest of UAlbany’s colleges. Its programmatic breadth and reach play a major role in shaping the overall quality and character of the learning environment at the University at Albany.
Within CAS, its Center for Humanities, Arts and TechnoSciences (CHATS), the lead organization in this project, promotes intellectual exchange and creates interdisciplinary public programs involving scientists, artists, humanists, architects, film makers, educators, technology experts, business people and the public all working together. CHATS plays a critical role in raising issues and questions about the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and culture through cinematic and dramatic productions, aesthetic installations, and public forums based on campus and in the Capital District region.
CHATS has developed innovative learning environments and multi-disciplinary curricula that include incubating new aesthetic and research programs and projects, fostering publications and new emerging knowledge in the areas of Science, Technology, and Ethics, Aesthetics, Media, and Culture, and Humanities, Art, and Science. CHATS has integrated the University at Albany’s programs with other regional, national, and international resources and has been awarded for outstanding public engagement projects.
