Our mission in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) is to create and sustain an intellectually challenging and diverse academic environment through excellent teaching, scholarship, and service.

The University of the Incarnate Word recognizes the importance of liberal arts education through its CORE Curriculum. Currently, the University requires that more than sixty percent of the general studies curriculum be taken in HASS. Keeping pace with the ongoing explosion of knowledge, programs in HASS foster those skills most valued by today's employers and graduate schools, including problem-solving, communication, cross-cultural understanding, and global awareness. HASS programs foster students' self-understanding, helping them to develop values as they consider moral issues or raise important ethical questions.

We encourage students to take advantage of educational, social, and international opportunities available on campus and through HASS.

We want to hear from you and hope you'll visit us in Administration Building 163. If you want more information about the College, please e-mail us or call us at the telephone number listed above. We look forward to hearing from you.
