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 Development and Activism, Gender Across Cultures, Global Politics and the World, and Indigenous Peoples and Media. Open new doors by learning languages, with classes in Arabic, French, German, Mi'kmaw, Spanish, Italian, and 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.
