What is ACCAS?

The Asprey Center for Collaborative Approaches to Science fosters the development of a vibrant scientific community in which faculty engage in innovative, interdisciplinary teaching and research, and students are inspired to become confident and competent scientists. The Asprey Center also fosters understanding and appreciation of science throughout Vassar College and the surrounding community.


Students are invited to learn more about the Student Research Enhancement Program in order to learn more about how ACCAS can support collaborative research projects at Vassar and beyond.

ACCAS supports faculty through the Keeping Current initiative which provides funding for professional development, and the Science Inquiry Modules for curriculum development.
