Mohamed Dahbi, Ph.D. Dean, School of Humanities and Social Sciences

Welcome to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences is designed to provide a strong Liberal Arts component for all AUI students through courses in Communications, Composition, Literature, History, Islamic Civilization, Arabic Language, and Social and Political Sciences. These courses represent most of those taught in the University Common Core.

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences has as a mission to provide innovative professional degree programs in applied social sciences with an emphasis on interdisciplinary technical and analytical skills, as well as practical learning. These include, at the undergraduate level: Communications Studies, Human Resource Development and International Studies. At the graduate level, the School offers a Master's program in International Studies and Diplomacy. In addition to these degree programs, the School offers a number of Minors including Women and Development, which was the first of its kind in Morocco. The School of Humanities and Social Sciences offers a number of special programs, including an Intensive Summer Program in Arabic Language and North African Studies.

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences also has a mandate to encourage dialogue and a convergence of cultures in an academic atmosphere characterized by universalism and liberty. It provides a forum for the discussion of issues arising from globalization and increasing economic and social interdependence.

We hope you will visit us often to find out how our programs and activities are developing and growing as we continue to contribute to the development of education in the Social Sciences and the Liberal Arts in Morocco.
