Welcome to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at the American University of Armenia
A community where ideas flourish, knowledge grows, and students shape the future.

At CHSS, we believe education is more than just learning; it’s about discovery, creativity, and impact. We are home to nine academic programs and four research centers, providing world-class education, research, student services, and community outreach. Through a strong foundation in the liberal arts, we prepare future civic and professional leaders who are ready to make a difference.

At CHSS, learning is dynamic and hands-on. That’s why we combine interactive classroom discussions, project-based learning, real-world internships, and exchange programs with universities abroad. Whether debating big ideas, tackling real challenges, or gaining global exposure, our students don’t just learn; they grow, explore, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.

Our faculty aren’t just educators. They are researchers, innovators, and thought leaders shaping how we understand society, culture, and human experience. At CHSS, we bring together scholars from diverse backgrounds in the humanities and social sciences, fostering a vibrant intellectual community. Many of our faculty members contribute to groundbreaking, world-class research that pushes the boundaries of knowledge.

We also believe in the power of interdisciplinary research to solve complex problems. Meaningful progress comes from collaboration across disciplines, and we encourage our students and faculty to explore new ideas that address challenges at local, regional, and global levels.

CHSS is growing, and we’re excited about the future. We aim to introduce new academic programs as we expand, providing students with more opportunities to explore their passions and chart their paths. Our goal is to create a broader, more dynamic learning experience that meets the needs of an ever-evolving world.

We invite you to explore, connect, and become part of a college where curiosity leads to discovery and education creates change.
