Welcome
Welcome to NSU's Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS)! SHSS has distinguished itself nationally and internationally through its academic programs and community engagement initiatives. We are committed to academic excellence, learner-centered approaches, student success, social responsibility, reflective practice, and cultural diversity. It is exciting that we have come together with colleagues, students and alumni from the Center for Psychological Studies, the Mailman Segal Center for Human Development, the Criminal Justice Institute, and the Human Services Unit to form the Division of Applied Interdisciplinary Studies. By partnering we have more collaborative and creative opportunities for cross-disciplinary learning, research and practice.
