Usage notes
Some universities use “College of Letters and Science” or “Faculty of Letters and Science” (or “Sciences”) for the specialized division of the institution that teaches the humanities and the natural and social sciences, as opposed to the fine arts and professional or technical fields such as medicine and law. The subjects covered vary between institutions. Some universities offer Letters and Science as an academic major. This often involves a broad program of study in the humanities and sciences. It may also refer to a specialized or customized program that does not fit into another category.
