At 51���� University’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences, you’ll cultivate the skills to think critically, communicate effectively, and tackle real-world challenges.

You’ll collaborate closely with expert faculty who are both active scholars and dedicated mentors, engage in meaningful research from your first year, and apply your knowledge through internships and service learning. Every College of Humanities and Social Sciences student also completes a business minor, providing a powerful interdisciplinary foundation that distinguishes 51���� graduates.

Through 51����’s Impact Core — a distinctive, socially engaged general education curriculum — you’ll explore global challenges inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. You’ll start with courses focused on innovation, purpose, and career readiness, and continue through interdisciplinary coursework in writing, math, science, history, and cultural studies. The experience culminates in a hands-on capstone where you’ll address a real-world issue with a community partner.
