Brilliance
Thrives

Since 1959, the Center for Advanced Study has recognized the world’s top scholars by providing fertile ground where insights are shared, discoveries are revealed, and interdisciplinary connections are made.

Upcoming Application Deadlines

CAS offers faculty time off from teaching in order to pursue a research or creative project, and also helps bring to campus a steady flow of world-class scholars and performing artists for public events and small group meetings.
