About SASS

Liberal arts education is necessary for the wellrounded development of our young generation. Pakistan needs young men and women, who can think originally, creatively, and, deeply about the issues facing the nation.

The School of Arts and Social Sciences (SASS) provides a broadbased education in languages, media studies, religious studies, including Islamic History, Culture and Civilization, and a whole range of social sciences, including psychology, political science, sociology, and education. We also cater to the needs of the mothers of tomorrow, by offering courses in home economics, interior design, and food and nutrition.

Additionally, we provide support to our other schools, by providing them with liberal arts courses, so that their students also receive the right balance between specialized training and well-rounded education.

Message from the Dean

A broad-based liberal arts education is necessary for well rounded development of our young people. Pakistan needs young men and women who can think originally, creatively, and deeply about the issues facing the nation.

The School of Arts and Social Sciences provides a broad-based education in languages, mass communication, and religious studies, including Islamic history, culture and civilization. We also offer the whole range of social sciences, including psychology, political science, sociology, education, and many other subjects. We cater to the needs of the mothers of tomorrow by offering courses in home economics, interior design, and food and nutrition among other disciplines.

We also provide support to our professional schools by providing them with liberal arts courses so that their students also receive the right balance between highly specialized training and well-rounded education. 

While GIFT is dedicated to the mission of bringing applied knowledge to our region, the School of Arts and Social Sciences provides the theoretical and philosophical background necessary to give meaning to any professional enterprise undertaken by the student.
