Dear Current and Prospective Students,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Faculty of Humanities and Liberal Arts. Whether you are already a member of our academic community or considering joining us, we are delighted by your interest in a faculty committed to excellence, innovation, and holistic student development.

Our Academic Programmes Include:

• Aesthetics
• Business Studies
• Behavioural Sciences
• Language, Literacy and Literature
• Social Sciences

These programmes are designed to equip students with strong disciplinary foundations, critical thinking abilities, and practical competencies essential in today’s dynamic global environment.

Through rigorous teaching, research-informed curricula, and rich experiential learning opportunities, we prepare our students not only for successful careers, but also for meaningful lives grounded in purpose, service, and social responsibility.

Beyond academics, the Faculty plays a vital role in the cultural, social, and ethical development of all students. We value diversity, creativity, and inclusion, and actively promote cultural expression through initiatives such as Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) festivals, cultural field trips, community service, leadership development, and civic engagement.

The Faculty is also home to The Mico Choir, the Steel Pan Society, and Jamaica Day and Reggae Month celebrations—platforms that foster cultural pride and artistic expression while shaping confident, socially aware, and culturally grounded graduates.

Our academic and support staff are deeply invested in student success, serving as mentors, researchers, and advocates who guide students through their academic journey. We foster an environment of respect, intellectual curiosity, collaboration, open dialogue, and innovation.

As a Faculty, we are proud of our contribution to national and regional development through research, outreach, and partnerships with schools, cultural institutions, and community organizations. Students are central to this mission and are encouraged to extend learning beyond the classroom into real-world contexts.

To our current students, I commend you for choosing this Faculty and encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities available to you.

To our prospective students, I invite you to explore our programmes, engage with our community, and consider becoming part of a Faculty dedicated to nurturing talent, character, and leadership.

We look forward to supporting you on your academic journey and celebrating your achievements.
