About the College of Humanities and Social Sciences

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences exists to give learners an opportunity to study some of the core foundations on which society is built and become Christ-like leaders in their areas of interest.  A student who commits to one of the majors found in the College of Humanities and Social Science will graduate from Dallas Baptist University with a better understanding of the world they are entering, and the people they will encounter. 

Mission Statement

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences believes that both faith and learning are lifelong experiences.  We strive to expose students to core subjects while maintaining a pattern of academic excellence and scholarship.  The studies provided by COHSS will encourage students to understand, analyze, and participate in the interaction between faith and the disciplines.

• Demonstrate skills in critical thinking gained from analytic and interdisciplinary study.
• Develop skills in writing and comprehension of literature, history, and language.
• Gain knowledge of how people think and see God’s handiwork as they study human behavior and will develop the tools necessary to become more informed and engaged citizens.
