I take an honor and a privilege in the leading role that the College of Human Sciences plays in fulfilling the University of South Africa’s mission and course of action as it seeks to improve the ODeL system in South Africa. We are a diverse and thriving teaching and learning college committed to promoting excellence and preparing tomorrow’s scholars and leaders. I am also proud of the steady growth and progress we have achieved, as this inspires all of us to work harder and exert more persistent efforts in the service of our country, humanity, knowledge, scholarship, and community engagement. We offer bachelor’s degrees in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.

With the start of 2025 academic year come bliss and motivation, but also new challenges that can turn into opportunities and accomplishments to celebrate. At the College, we try to give our students the best academic opportunities that will awaken their ambitions and help materialize their goals. I wish all our students’ success in their studies, and I urge them to try their best to acquire the knowledge and academic skills crucial for success in their future lives. No less important are the social skills and experience gained from interaction with CHS, or gleaned through relevant activities organized by the College, in the service of South Africa. In so doing, they will all take part in the future growth and development of SA. Indeed, building human capital is the most noble and most important objective of the CHS since it is the most fundamental component of life on Earth.
