Welcome to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Bridgewater State University, where we study what it is to be human, to be creative, and to function in groups and as individuals. The mission of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences is to promote and support excellence in teaching, scholarship, and creative expression grounded in the liberal arts.
Dedicated faculty provide inspiring, rigorous learning environments and the means for students to think and solve problems innovatively, critically, and collaboratively; to write and speak effectively; to collect, analyze, and correctly apply qualitative and quantitative data in order to address problems; and to engage with the complexity of the human condition through encounters with diverse critical, creative, artistic, historical, cultural, and global perspectives.
