College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences

The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) is a dynamic academic environment dedicated to the study of human creativity and society, as well as our mental and physical capabilities and conditions. The largest and most diverse of the 16 colleges at the University of Houston, CLASS is home to 14 schools and departments, encompassing humanities and social sciences. The College's goal is to stimulate and expand students' cultural, mental and physical explorations through rich course offerings, study abroad programs and campus events. We encourage students to delve into the questions of life while building critical and analytical skills that animate professions and launch successful careers. CLASS graduates are tomorrow's economists, journalists, actors, diplomats, lawyers and doctors. Whatever they choose to do in life, CLASS graduates are prepared to make meaningful contributions to multi-cultural societies and global economies.
