The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences empowers students to critically examine their place in the world: to imagine, communicate, collaborate, create, and transform. Our graduates are engaged global citizens who have studied a wide range of topics, such as art, communication, film, language, and psychology. Our students learn to apply values, interdisciplinary knowledge, and skills, equipping them to provide creative and socially responsible solutions for the future.
Please visit our Office of the Dean page for a welcome message from Dr. Juanita Cole, Dean.

Our Students
CAHSS students are dedicated to serving the community. Not only do they serve in the local Tri-County area, but also across the nation and the globe. Using the skills they have learned in the classroom — whether it be language, art, communications, psychology, or music — our accomplished students aim to make the world a better place.
