History

     

      The School of Humanities and Social Sciences was founded in 1955 with the start of the first course of the School of History.  Doctoral courses were given for the first time in the 1962-63 school year and the Chair of Basque Language and Culture was formed. It was also during these years that the Institute of Liberal Arts came about; a program designed with great anticipation as a way of enabling foreigners to study at the University of Navarra.

      In 1965 the degree in Romance Philology was initiated and the Center of Spanish Language and Culture was created in 1967.

      By November of 1973 there were already three separate areas in the School: History and Geography, Philology, and Philosophy and Educational Sciences.

     Over time, the different departments of the School were being formed, stimulating the intellectual life of the University. Scores of scholars have since passed through the halls of the University making up and forming new generations of humanists, now spread throughout the world.

      Today, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences offers 7 different degrees and 5 double degree programs. There are Masters and Doctorate graduate courses in practically every area, and it has a considerable wealth of unique manuscripts and documents concerning Spain.

       We hope to remain a first class intellectual and academic reference, capable of stirring fruitful dialogue and preparing the humanists of the future.
