The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is dedicated to helping students of every discipline find success and fulfillment during their time at SUU.

One of the approaches we use to help accomplish the goal of student success is free campus-wide access to its Writing Center, and Speech and Presentation Center. The Writing Center is available to students in both a face-to-face, and a virtual modality. Whether a student needs help formatting their research paper, finalizing their science lab write-up, or just brainstorming ideas, the Writing Center Tutors are eager to help! https://www.suu.edu/writingcenter/

The newly remodeled Speech and Presentation center is equipped with the newest technology and tutor that are skilled in professional presentation techniques. As presenting is becoming more and more common in almost every discipline, the Speech and Presentation Center aims to help students become more and more comfortable in front of an audience. https://www.suu.edu/speech-center/

In addition to offering support to students in a variety of ways, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences is also a leader in campus development and academic advancement. In 2022, SUU will offer its first doctorate program in the history of the university, a Doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology, which will be proudly housed under HSS. This graduate program joins a host of others housed within the college and we believe that these programs are representative of the excellence of students and faculty alike all across the college.

Through HSS, students have the opportunity to participate in Study Abroad programs that provide them with unique learning experiences and memories that last a lifetime. The cost of these trips includes tuition, lodging, some meals and in-country transportation, and is typically less than what the students would pay for 6 credits of tuition. The only additional costs associated with these programs are airfare and some food, which provides students with an affordable way to broaden their horizons.
