The School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the individual as a social and behavioral animal, along with knowledge of the interaction between the social environment and behavior. In addition, HSS is committed to providing opportunities for students to satisfy their Core Curriculum requirements in English Composition and electives in Humanities and Fine Arts. HSS is sensitive to the needs of individual students and seeks to develop logical thinkers, articulate communicators, vivid readers, accurate writers and analytical listeners. In addition, the Division provides extra-curricular activities, which engage students' creative energies while complementing their academic exercise.

Students following programs of study in the social sciences and humanities are provided with both theoretical and practical learning experiences which better enable them to analyze, interpret, and understand educational, political, social, psychological, and historical phenomena significant to their daily lives. In the humanties courses, students examine the human experience through the eyes of writers, philosophers, artists and musicians
