Explore what it means to be human with Arts and Social Sciences

Dalhousie's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) offers a world of choices. We are the oldest and one of the largest faculties on campus with hundreds of courses being taught by professors across more than thirty-five academic programs that encompass the humanities, social sciences, and performing arts.

Dive into thought-provoking courses such as Youth and Society, Explorations in Religion, Gender Theory and World Politics. Open new doors by learning a new language, with classes in Arabic, French, German, Mi'kmaw, Spanish, Italian, Russian, even Mandarin. Sharpen your reasoning skills and writing abilities by taking a literature or philosophy class. Step into the spotlight in a theatre or music class. Build on what you're learning in the classroom by taking one of our Experiential Learning course offerings. Learn about different cultures and countries first-hand by living abroad for a semester. And give an extra boost to your resumé by completing one (or more) of our certificate programs.
