SHSS has distinguished itself nationally and internationally through its academic programs and community initiatives. We are committed to academic excellence, diversity, learner-centeredness, social justice, and reflective practice.

It is exciting that we are coming together with colleagues, students and alumni from the Center for Psychological Studies (CPS), the Mailman Segal Center (MSC), and the Criminal Justice Institute (CJI). By partnering with CJI, CPS, and MSI, there will be more collaborative opportunities for cross-disciplinary 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 innovative technologies. In the course of addressing human challenges and social issues as an inclusive learning community, we are building up a creative 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, on line, and in the communities. Good luck with your graduate studies and your promising careers!
