The Dean is in.
Welcome to the School's Website
Now, more than ever, the time-honored strengths of the humanities, arts, and social science disciplines at MIT are proving their value.
The School’s 20+ Fields of Study provide guidance in challenging times, and equip MIT students to enter the world with cultural perspective, international experience, and skills in communication and critical thinking—capacities that prepare MIT graduates for leadership.
The School is also home to world-class research, and a distinguished faculty whose work affects national and international policy, countless individual lives, and history itself. Take a look at some of the exciting explorations in the online Research Portfolio. You might also enjoy the current issue of Soundings Magazine.
We invite you to be part of the School’s endeavor, through all seasons and cycles, to bring great ideas and positive change into the world.
