Strathmore University: School of Humanities and Social Sciences

School of Humanities & Social Sciences

It has often been said that today’s student lives in a rapidly changing technological world, in which he or she must be able to compute, solve problems, and think critically. The humanities play a key role in the preparation of students for happiness and a most successful future. Towards this end, SHSS teaches an array of units as part of all the undergraduate courses of Strathmore University focusing on areas of crucial interest to the individual and the society such as understanding of the human person, work, family, society, institutions, ethics and governance.

Employers today are looking for graduates who can solve problems and make good decisions using complex information; graduates who know what is ethical and therefore can act accordingly; graduates who can contribute to a team of diverse people as well being able to communicate ideas effectively in writing and in speech.
