Welcome to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS) at Carnegie Mellon University is no ordinary liberal arts school. H&SS students publish poetry and analyze brain scans. They teach elementary school students to speak Spanish and create computer tutors that teach algebra. They study how films shape our culture and learn about the impact that pollution has had on the history of American cities. This video will give you a preview of our exciting education programs, research and opportunities for students.

H&SS students study under some of the world's leading scholars in fields that were pioneered at Carnegie Mellon, such as decision science, technical writing, history and policy, and cognitive neuroscience. And H&SS provides for all Carnegie Mellon students what the New York Times has called "the most creative general education program of any American university."
