“Justice, freedom, democracy, race, the good life, religion, human responsibility to one another and to nature - the very concepts upon which modern society is built - are the subjects of study in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. What we teach our students today will influence what happens in Southern California and the country for years to come.”

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS) offers students the breadth of a traditional liberal arts education while preparing them for a wide range of professions, graduate school and advanced professional study. It is home to more than 20 different departments and programs. All majors in H&SS provide students with the broad education and core skills that will be attractive to employers in whatever career or field a graduate may choose. For those seeking to become high school teachers, we offer programs leading to secondary credentials in English/Language Arts, Foreign Languages and History/Social Science.

Graduates from our college speak and write in ways that inform and inspire others. Through their studies, they have come to understand and appreciate the rich traditions of thought and expression, ideologies, belief systems and epistemologies that have shaped and continue to shape the world.
