Fund for Humanities and Social Sciences

Join Us This Giving Tuesday to Empower the

Future of Humanities

Your generosity fuels opportunities, innovation, and growth for students and scholars in the humanities

Humanities courses deepen students’ understanding of the complexity of the human condition, cultivate a sense of social responsibility and integrity, and sharpen the ability to think critically and communicate effectively in their professional and personal lives. Social science courses ingrain an awareness of how race, gender, age, language, and national identity shape systems of power, as well as each student’s sense of self and cultural assumptions. A fundamental part of HSSMA’s work is ensuring students can analyze and contextualize a wide range of world events, politics, issues, and urban settings. Students also develop strong research abilities and intercultural competencies needed to communicate and engage cross-culturally. Creative and fine arts courses provide a robust educational foundation for the study and practice of the visual and performing arts.

The curricula foster the intellectual, analytical, and artistic skills necessary for unique expressions and analyses of creativity from diverse cultural experiences. Moreover, the HSSMA Division is dedicated to instilling in the men of Morehouse respect for and understanding of the diversity of humanity while nurturing self-awareness and appreciation of their own cultures, communities, and individual identities.
