High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A faculty is a division within a university comprising one subject area, or a number of related subject areas (for the North American usage, referring to academic staff, see below). In North American usage such divisions are generally referred to as colleges (e.g., "college of arts and sciences") or schools (e.g., "school of business"), but may also mix terminology (e.g., Harvard University has a "faculty of arts and sciences" but a "law school"). The concept of a university with different faculties for different subjects dates back to Al-Azhar University, which had individual faculties for a Madrasah, theological seminary, Islamic law and jurisprudence, Arabic grammar, Islamic astronomy, Islamic philosophy, and logic in Islamic philosophy. The medieval University of Paris, which served as a model for most of the later medieval universities in Europe, had four faculties: the Faculties of Theology, Law, Medicine, and finally the Faculty of Arts, which every student had to graduate from in order to continue his training in one of the other three, sometimes known as the higher faculties.
