About the College
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is a cornerstone of learning and research at George Mason University. Programs of study at the graduate level provide a strong foundation of knowledge rooted in theory and research. Programs of study at the undergraduate level build strengths in writing, leadership, and knowledge of global issues. All programs promote the exploration of contemporary issues through integrated interdisciplinary learning that encourages students to forge real-world connections to science, technology, and the community.
The college is home to 11 departments in the humanities and social sciences, 11 interdisciplinary programs, one interdisciplinary college, and the award winning Technology Across the Curriculum Program.
Each fall the college sponsors an annual Celebration of Scholarship, and each spring it holds a convocation for the students who are graduating.
Through the generous support of faculty, staff, and friends, the Dean's Challenge Scholarships and Fellowships are awarded annually to acknowledge exceptional undergraduate and graduate students who have excelled while making academically challenging choices.
