The suburban campus, on about 170 acres, has an undergraduate population of over 8,000 students. Established in 1853, it is now considered one of the top fifteen best universities in the entire country. Comprehensive academic programs and a large selection of on-campus activities make for a well-balanced undergraduate experience.

There are numerous majors and programs to choose from as a WUSTL undergraduate student. The College of Arts and Sciences serves about 3,800 undergraduates in 40 departments. There are over 600 tenure-track faculty members (including scientists, lecturers, and artists in residence.) Washington UniversityDespite a large amount of students in this college, class sizes remain small with 66 percent having fewer than 20 students. The student to faculty ratio is about seven to one.
