Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Your gift to Dal helps strengthen the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

One of the largest and oldest faculties at ��Ʊ, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers students a world of possibilities to discover and learn. With thirty-five academic programs, our students can explore their passions — whether it’s learning a new language, developing their writing abilities, or delivering the performance of a lifetime on stage. Regardless of their program, our students have the chance to build on what they learn outside of the classroom through experiential learning opportunities.
