"Students new to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences are often surprised at how friendly and helpful our faculty are. Classes are 'student friendly,' and students discover many opportunities for participation with their teachers in research, projects, conference presentations and in service learning. Our faculty make a really positive difference in students’ lives."
Dean Thomas Klammer
College of Humanities and Social Sciences
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS) offers students the breadth of a traditional liberal arts education in the humanities and social sciences while preparing them for a wide range of professions, for graduate school and for advanced professional study in fields such as law, public administration, clinical psychology, and business. In fact, the College is home to 20 different departments and programs, most offering both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Our faculty and staff are student-centered and enjoy providing friendly, personal guidance and mentoring to our students. That’s why the College of H&SS is the right place for so many Cal State Fullerton students.
Many of our students intend to become teachers, and each of our programs includes a track that prepares students for entry into the elementary school teaching credential program. For those seeking to become high school teachers, we offer programs leading to secondary credentials in English/Language Arts, Foreign Languages, and History/Social Science.
In the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, students know that “the name of your major does not have to be the same as the name of your career.” In fact, for most college students, it rarely is. All majors in H&SS provide students with the broad education and core skills (reading, writing, critical thinking, working in teams, public speaking) that will be attractive to employers in whatever career or field a graduate may later choose.
Majors in the Humanities and Social Sciences not only prepare students for the profession of their choice, but also help them to excel in coursework throughout their time at the University. If you’re a student working on an assignment that involves complex analysis, critical thinking, or persuasive communication, your studies in one of the degree programs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences will provide you with what you need to succeed in your classes University Extension – in any field.
Of course, learning takes place outside of the formal structure of classes, as well. We give a high priority to involving students directly in faculty research and professional internships. And each of our departments includes one or more student clubs and organizations that promote life-long friendships, social activities, and service projects. The H&SS Interclub Council (ICC) provides additional leadership opportunities for students in the College, as well as promoting communication among more than 50 clubs and organizations run by and for Humanities and Social Sciences students.
Listed below are the many majors, minors, and graduate degrees offered within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Academic advisement is provided by each of the College’s departments and programs, as well as in our Student Access Center located in Humanities 112.
