Honggang Yang, DeanWelcome to the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Nova Southeastern University (NSU)!

The Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) has distinguished itself nationally and internationally through its academic programs and community services. We are committed to academic excellence, learner-centered approaches, student success, social responsibility, reflective practice, and cultural diversity.

It is exciting that we are coming together this year with colleagues and students from NSU’s Center for Psychological Studies (CPS). By bringing SHSS and CPS programs together, there will be more collaborative opportunities for learning, research, and practice.

Understanding and betterment of human social relations is a central theme of our multidisciplinary, multi-professional, and multicultural endeavors. Our vigorous curricula have deep interdisciplinary roots. Our cutting-edge programs employ a variety of creative learning approaches and innovative education technologies. In the course of addressing human problems and social issues as a dynamic learning community, we are building a bridge between theory, practice, and research drawn from different social sciences, humanities, and helping professions.

We are looking forward to working with you closely on campus, online, and in the communities. Good luck with your graduate studies and your promising careers!
