School of Liberal Arts

Welcome to the School of Liberal Arts, a rapidly growing, dynamic, and vibrant community of scholars and writers! Our aim is to excel in teaching, research, and service. We strive to engage students with an array of subjects, both within global and Indian contexts.

Our teaching mission is to motivate students toward a thorough and informed critical study of humanities and social sciences. We focus on fostering connections between reading and writing practices.

As part of the School of Liberal Arts, the department offers programs in English, Psychology, Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology.

Mission Statement

The primary mission of the School of Liberal Arts is to advocate for an ethical Liberal Arts education and research deeply rooted in Social Sciences, Humanities, and related fields.

We bear complete responsibility for our students. Our commitment extends beyond correcting errors in assignments and test papers; we aim to address broader historical, contextual, and institutional factors that may hinder a student's realisation of their full human potential.

As part of a research-oriented university, we encourage all students to engage with the department's research areas. Our faculty members possess diverse interdisciplinary research backgrounds, drawing from extensive teaching experiences in both Indian and international universities. Their ongoing research encompasses diverse fields such as English Language Teaching, Linguistics, Renaissance Humanism, History, Politics, Modernism, Women’s Studies, Speech and Pronunciation, Human Behavior, Communication, Travel Studies, and Creative Writing.

Vision

The School of Liberal Arts aspires to become a distinguished multidisciplinary institution, shaping futures through knowledge cultivation and intellectual empowerment.

At IMS Unison University, our programs are uniquely crafted for 21st-century Indian literature students. We acknowledge the necessity for students to bridge their Indian identity, rooted in native languages, with a global identity primarily based on English. Consequently, our curriculum is both regionally grounded and internationally inclined, exposing students to diverse academic traditions across time and space. Our emphasis lies not only on comprehensive reading but also on in-depth exploration. Students delve into the intricate connections between language, literary forms, history, and culture, exploring both similarities and differences across cultural and chronological boundaries.

In today's global landscape, proficiency in clear and articulate English writing is essential. Therefore, the Department offers courses in Academic and Creative Writing as well as Communication, which are mandatory for all students. These courses facilitate effective oral and written communication skills. Through rigorous teaching standards and experiential learning methods, our undergraduates develop self-reflective critical thinking abilities alongside historical and literary analysis skills.

Our broad-based educational approach equips graduates from Liberal Arts programs at IUU with diverse career opportunities, often not readily available to students from more traditional Indian universities.
