About the Faculty of Arts & Sciences
Organization of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Faculty members holding appointments in the academic departments of both Yale College and the Graduate School together constitute the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Within this Faculty there are four divisions: the division of the biological sciences, the division of the humanities, the division of the social sciences, and the division of the physical sciences and engineering. Advisory committees for each division and a director of the division are appointed by the president. Each advisory committee is chaired by the director and is responsible for making recommendations concerning appointments and educational policy in that division to the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The Executive Committee consists of the President, the Provost, the Deans of Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
