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.

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.
