About

CASS Covered Walkway.

The College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) is home to the four (4) internationally acclaimed groups in Southern Philippines- the Integrated Performing Arts Guild, Kalimulan Cultural Dance Troupe, the Octava Choral Society and the Mindanao Creative Writers Guild. It is also the home of renowned artists, playwrights, poets, language experts, historians, sociologists, community organizers, and peace advocates, who have been constantly impacting the lives of the Mindanao community.

With its strong faculty force, CASS offers six (6) undergraduate degree programs, namely: English, Filipino, Sociology, History, Political Science, and Psychology. It likewise offers six (6) masters and two (2) doctoral degree programs. It has gained the distinction of Level II status by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) in all six (6) departments of the College and is recently set for Level III accreditation by AACCUP this school year 2010-2011. Such accomplishment adds prestige to CASS and the Institute in general, justified by the possession of quality standards in the Social Sciences; hence, a triumph shared by only few other Social Science campuses in the Philippines.

CASS also offers the two-year (2) General Education program which caters to students who unfortunately did not meet the required passing rate under the System Admission Scholarship Exam (SASE) of the Mindanao State University (MSU) and those who were not admitted in some programs; thus, students are privileged to have equal access to quality education.
