Message from the Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Social Science

As Dean of the faculty, I am extremely proud of the rich tradition of providing practical, and experiential education that our faculty has upheld since its founding. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are developing the next generation of servant leaders – leaders who have the moral depth and intellectual intensity necessary to meet the challenges of a time of critical transition in society.

The faculty offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Social Science, and several specialized diplomas. Each of these degrees is designed to equip our students to apply their expertise not only for organizational success but for the common good. The faculty is designated as a Center of Academic Excellence. The faculty views Social Science as a profession that is ordered to the betterment of society in keeping with the common good.

We empower students to drive innovation and positive change through cutting-edge, values-driven education focused on emerging professional needs. By cultivating an inclusive learning community and stressing social responsibility, we prepare graduates to utilize their distinct skills in service to society.

Faculty of Social Science is the home to more than 741 undergraduate and 84 graduate students, the faculty offers students a journey of learning and discovery into the humanities and the social, natural, and computational sciences—the fundamental disciplines that underlie contemporary knowledge creation. Our faculty is a community of dedicated scholars and teachers whose teaching prepares students for wide-ranging careers and lifelong learning.

I invite all of you who are interested in expanding your knowledge and enriching your careers to explore our faculty further through a visit to our campus. I hope that you will join our community of life-long learners.
