Established in 2009, the Faculty of Arts and Science (FAS) is the fourth and the youngest faculty of the University of Aruba. The embedding of the FAS within the University of Aruba impacts the Aruban society in multiple ways and it strengthens the role of the university as a change agent in the surrounding society, for the sake of development. Set up as a multi-study faculty, the FAS contributes to the diversity in student population, teaching staff and study programs.
The FAS aims to offer a substantial expansion of the possibilities for higher education in Aruba, as well as the expansion of research and social services in the field of social-cultural studies and humanities.
