Welcome to RV University’s School of Liberal Arts And Sciences

The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences (SoLAS) offers dynamic programmes for students to gain comprehensive knowledge base in a subject discipline of their choice and develop necessary skills to become future leaders, creators and influencers. We encourage students to embark on an academic pathway based on their interests by integrating subjects and courses from Natural and Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities. The modern curriculum of Liberal Arts courses is designed for young learners to develop a research-based, multidisciplinary thinking ability that would help contribute to the development of society as a whole.

Of all tested and available higher education templates prevalent in India today, the Liberal Arts and Sciences study model comes closest to achieving the above goals. It aligns with the plural, all-encompassing spirit of the Indian civilisation, with cherished European renaissance worldviews of ‘humanism, individualism, secularism, scepticism, classicism and well-roundedness’ towards the nurturing of free-thinking, responsible global citizens in a fast-changing world with increasing connectivity, dependence and influence.
