About SHSS

Mission Statement

We, at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, apply a holistic, relational perspective to the challenges facing individuals, families, organizations, communities, and nations. With an interdisciplinary sensibility and a commitment to individual and social integrity, we seek collaborative, creative, and equitable means for resolving human problems. Our unique and talented students learn to become reflective scholars and ethical practitioners – professionals with a critical understanding of theory and method, as well as an appreciation of the diversity, responsibility, and privilege inherent in co-creating peaceful change.
