Message from the Dean

We welcome your interest in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Stevenson University.  Our school offers a wide range of majors and disciplines while maintaining Stevenson University’s commitment to individualized attention and career preparation.  The broad experience and intellectual diversity of our dedicated faculty provides our students with opportunities in everything from creative writing to scientific study of the human mind.  Through intellectual analysis and hands-on practice, our students obtain the skills to meet the challenges of life and career, to make lifelong choices, and to forge their best futures.

Our programs encourage students to learn outside the confines of their chosen disciplines as well as outside the classroom.  School of Humanities and Social Sciences graduates are marked by a desire to question, find answers, take risks, and solve problems.  We furnish an environment of inquiry, exploration, and evaluation to each student who values the possibilities that broad learning provides.  Our graduates’ careers, like their studies, vary across fields as they pursue the interests and achieve the goals that fire their imaginations.

Humanities and Social Sciences students want to learn not only how to do, but also why to do.   If you are this type of student, we look forward to meeting you at Stevenson University.


James Gerard Salvucci, Ph.D
Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences
