Welcome from the Dean
I would like to welcome you to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce you more fully to the rich, creative world of the school of which I am more than ever immensely proud to be the dean.
Throughout its more than 90-year history, AUC has balanced a strong commitment to liberal arts education in English, with a concern for the region’s needs for practical applications and professional specializations. HUSS, being the largest school at The American University in Cairo, encompasses eight departments, as well as two language institutes -- the Arabic Language Institute and English Language Institute.
HUSS offers students a liberal arts education, interaction with faculty members within an environment where these scholars are leaders in their fields, thereby allowing our students to get the best of both worlds. More>>
