As its name suggests, the project focuses on majors in the humanities and social sciences. By promoting interdisciplinary convergence and inter-university cooperation, the project cultivates students with strong convergent thinking skills and encourages innovative approaches. Students analyze social phenomena from various perspectives and develop problem-solving skills. They also receive practical and innovative education aligned with social needs and global trends. In modern society, the humanities and social sciences play a crucial role in addressing real social problems such as issues in risk society beyond the mere delivery of theories. In particular, in a rapidly changing social environment, majors in the humanities and social sciences serve purposes beyond job preparation, playing and important role in enhancing quality of life and fostering social consensus.

HUSS provides students with programs that help them develop core competencies such as critical thinking, communication skills, analytical skills based on understanding society, culture, and humanity. Within each major, students analyze complex social problems and develop practical skills through theoretical learning and hands-on practice.
