College of Arts and Social Sciences
Throughout history, colleges of arts and social sciences worldwide
have shared a commitment to advancing our knowledge of
human history, culture, literature and arts through the study of
people and societies in different periods, their organizations,
artifacts and documents, constructing theories to account for
their development. The study of the historical and cultural
backgrounds of human existence and how human experience is
processed and documented is essential to a true understanding
of our world. For this reason, colleges of arts and social sciences
globally make up an essential part of university education. In
this context, it is crucially important that the different fields of
arts and social sciences continue to flourish and develop so that
their importance to the lives and affairs of communities today
and in the future will be recognized.
To this end, the College of Arts and Social Sciences at Sultan
Qaboos University strives to fulfill its academic and social
function. Given our nation’s need for specialists in the future, it is
especially important for our college to provide strong programs
in the various social science and arts disciplines. Recognizing
this, the University administration has strongly and consistently
supported the college in all its endeavors since its inauguration
in 1987, one year after the inception of the university. Every
year, the college receives its new batch of students to acquire
the basic knowledge and sciences.
The first courses taught in the college were general courses,
6
but in the following year, the first batch of students enrolled in the different
majors that were offered at the time, namely Arabic Language and Literature,
English Language and Literature, History, Geography, Sociology, Philosophy, Mass
Media and Communication, Libraries and Archives. Our present building was
inaugurated by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said in October 1993. Over the
years since, the college has established the departments of Theater Arts (1991),
Archaeology (1993), Tourism (2001), and more recently, Music and Musicology
(2008). Specialist majors in Translation (English Department), and Social Work
(Department of Sociology and social work) were introduced in 2001.
The college began to offer postgraduate programs in 1992, with the first MA
programs in Arabic language and literature, English language and literature and
Sociology. As time passed, the number and quality of the programs have developed
and today the college offers a total of ten MA programs in Arabic, Translation,
Geography, Sociology, Social Work, Mass Communication, Information Studies,
history, Archeology and Strategic Studies for National Security and Defence. In
2011 the College began PhD programs in Arabic, History and Information Studies .
The college is proud of its substantial participation in a wide range of community
service activities, which include various consultations, ad hoc and standing
committees, as well as forums and seminars. The college has also played a part
in joint standing committees with different ministries, including the Ministries of
Education, Social Development, Heritage and Culture, and Information as well as
the National Public Authority for Radio and TV, the Royal Opera House of Muscat,
and other key establishments and institutions. In addition, the college has
developed a number of educational programs in collaboration with the Center for
Community Service and Continuing Education.
We are proud of being the first and, until recently, the only college to admit
7
special needs students, in particular the visually impaired. A
number of these students have already graduated, while others
are currently enrolled. To meet their educational needs, a fully
equipped computer laboratory is provided, and dedicated
support has been arranged from members of the academic,
technical and administrative staff.

Message from the College Dean
This guide provides the reader with essential information about the
college, its mission, study system and the specializations it offers.
On behalf of all faculty and staff in the College of Arts and Social
Sciences and on behalf of the students who are still enrolled or
graduated already, I want to welcome you to our college and
hope that this guide will inform you about such matters as our
vision and mission, our teaching and research, and our training
and community service activities.
Dr. Abdullah Al Kindi
Like all other colleges of arts and social sciences worldwide, we
take very seriously our commitment to advancing the liberal
arts and their values. Like other such colleges, we endeavor
to observe human developments in all domains, both at local
and international levels, and to subject these developments to
study and analysis in order to arrive at solutions for the kinds of
problems societies encounter. These problems and solutions are
the focus of specialized programs in diverse fields of study at the
undergraduate and graduate levels.
The College’s early establishment and the wide and varied
programs and specializations it offers put it in the forefront
in the Sultanate in the area of arts and social sciences. Since
1987, the college has continued to develop its offerings, both
in number and in quality. From its initial seven BA programs (in
Arabic Language and Literature, English Language and Literature,
History and Geography, Sociology, Mass Media, Library Science,
9
and Philosophy), the college now offers eleven BA programs, ten
MA, three PhD programs and one high diploma, and is looking
to add further new programs in different specializations to its
offerings. In order to maintain the quality of its programs and to
keep abreast of the developments in the society and academia,
the college embarks on regular reviews of its programs and
courses. These reviews, together with the adoption of excellent
quality control practices, will help us in our current endeavor to
obtain accreditation for our subject majors and the institution
as a whole. In the academic year 2012 - 2013, the college
adopted a plan entitled ‘The College of Arts and Social Sciences’
Accreditation Map’ with the goal of obtaining insitiutional
accreditation and accreditation for all programs by 2017. The
process was started early in 2012.
Postgraduate study commenced in the college in1992 with MA
programs in Arabic Language and Literature, English language
and literature and Sociology, among the first in the university.
Today, the college offers a large number of postgraduate
programs, including nine MA programs (Arabic Language and
Literature, Translation, History, Geography, Sociology and Social
Work, Mass Communication, Archeology, Information Studies
and Strategic Studies for National Security and Defence), and
three PhD programs (in Arabic Language and Literature, History,
and Information Studies). Entry to these programs is highly
competitive and the number of applicants for them is growing
each year. Postgraduate studies in the college will no doubt
experience considerable growth and development in the next
10
few years.
The College seeks to improve its reputation in academic
publishing through faculty members’ increased research
output in refereed journals and participation in regional and
international conferences, and through support of the college’s
own refereed journal and the increasing numbers of conferences
and academic gatherings held in the college.
As part of its community service, the college has continued to
offer consultations, seminars, lectures and workshops, as well as
serving on ad hoc and standing committees, and other advisory
committees.
As everyone is aware, the college’s motto, “Ingenuity through
Human Knowledge”, can be achieved only with our continuous
and untiring effort. “Say: ‹Allah will see your works, and so will
His Messenger and the believers” [Altawbah 105].

Message from the Assistant Dean for
Undergraduate Studies
The college strives continuously to meet the needs of the Omani
society and the demands of the market place by revising its study
plans on regular basis.
The College of Arts and Social Sciences works in parallel with

other the colleges in the university to achieve its academic
mission with high standards of learning and teaching. The
college is proud to be in the lead when it comes to programs
Dr. Talal Al Awadi
that address issues of human intellect in general and of the
Omani society in particular.
Since its inception in 1986, the college has made great strides
in meeting its objectives in the undergraduate programs.
Its academic programs have grown to cover a wide array of
specializations. In addition, with the infrastructure and facilities
required to meet their needs, the college is a pioneer in
embracing students with special needs.
The college is keen to meet the demands of the Omani society
and its job market. This is accomplished through the continuous
evaluation and development of its academic programs while also
maintaining global standards. The several bilingual programs
currently offered in Mass Communication, Tourism, Geography,
Information Studies, and Music and Musicology attest to this
focus.
At present, the college has 11 departments: Arabic Language
17
and Literature, English Language and Literature, History,
Geography, Sociology and Social Work, Information Studies,
Archeology, Mass Communication, Tourism, Theatre Arts, music
and Musicology and Philosophy. The programs offered by these
departments are divided into three categories:
• programs addressing languages, such as Arabic Language
and Literature, and English Language and Literature
• programs addressing humanities and social sciences, such
as Geography, History, Sociology, and Social Work
• vocational programs, such as Mass Communication,
Information Studies, Tourism, and Translation.
The Departments of Archeology and Theatre and philosophy
provide academic support to the other departments in the
college in the form of elective courses and minor specializations.
In addition, the college offers three courses (Arabic Language,
Omani and Islamic Civilization, Contemporary Omani Society) as
university requirements, taken by all students in the university.
Finally, the College of Arts and Social Sciences is committed to
its academic mission, and seeks to advance the educational
process and achieve excellence in the years to come.

Message from the Assistant Dean for
Postgraduate Studies and Research
The College of Arts and Social Sciences continues to implement its
ambitious plans, which seek to promote research productivity in all
fields of humanities and social sciences.
The College of Arts and Social Sciences is responsible for

achieving SQU’s mission, which underscores excellence in
postgraduate studies and research. To this end, it works
continuously to develop and evaluate existing postgraduate Dr. Ali Al Aufi
programs and to propose new programs in fulfillment of the
University›s objectives of promoting research, supporting the
public and private sectors, and providing practical solutions to
local problems.
The college currently offers one higher diploma program in
Medical Librarianship. It offers ten programs at the MA level in
Arabic Language and Literature, Translation, Sociology, Social
Work, Library and Information Studies, Journalism, Geography,
History, Archaeology and Strategic Studies for National Security
and Defence and three doctoral programs in Arabic Language
and Literature, History, and Information Studies. It anticipates
introducing more PhD programs in other majors. While the
college seeks to develop and diversify its postgraduate programs,
it works diligently to ensure the quality of existing programs is
maintained and enhanced, subjecting each program to periodic
evaluation. Our programs are well regarded by both local and
19
international students and, with their emphasis on creating
partnerships and collaboration with local institutions, have the
support of the community.
In matters of research, the college aspires to promote research
in the areas of humanities and social sciences. It is currently
working on developing internal procedures that will provide
faculty members with the facilities and opportunities to
increase the output and quality of their research. A cursory look
at the college research statistics shows a significant increase in
research output over the past few years. Faculty members are
participating more in regional and international conferences, and
increasing numbers have received internal and external research
grants to conduct strategic research. The college supports these
efforts and encourages its members to form research groups,
conduct collaborative and multi-disciplinary research projects,
provide consultancies, organize local conferences, and promote
faculty-student collaboration in research endeavors that lead to
publishing in well-recognized journals.
Finally, the college aspires, through collaborative teamwork, to
fulfill its mission and accomplish its objectives successfully, thus
serving the Omani community.

Message from the Assistant Dean for Training
and Community Service
Dr. Naifa Salim
We in the college believe that training contributes significantly to
the development of a society, and that it builds an inseparable part-
nership between the university and the community.
No university, regardless of its accomplishments in teaching and
research, can distance itself from the community and its prob-
lems. Since the establishment of the post of Assistant Dean for
Training and Community Service in 2011, the college has made Dr. Naifa Salim
great strides in serving the community through consultancies,

seminars, lectures and workshops.
We, in the college, believe that training contributes significantly
to the development of a society, and that it builds an inseparable
partnership between the university and the community. Train-
ing in the university is of two kinds: voluntary and mandatory.
The first refers to the voluntary contribution of faculty members
to the community out of commitment to their roles in the com-
munity. This type of training is offered to the community both
within the university (to students and staff) and outside, and it
usually takes the form of awareness campaigns in the commu-
nity. Voluntary work is also carried out by students seeking to
hone their skills and apply their theoretical knowledge in real
life situations. This type of training is not linked to the students’
study plans and may precede any mandatory training require-
ments. Students are generally allowed to take part in voluntary
21
work after they have completed at least 60 credit hours.
There are also mandatory internships, which are included in the students’ study
plan. This type of training is divided into internships inside the Sultanate and in-
ternships in the Arab and foreign countries. So far, the college has managed, in
cooperation with its departments and external training institutions, to fulfill the
external internship requirements for students in the departments of Mass Com-
munication and Tourism.
Community service generally comprises lectures and training workshops provid-
ed by the Center for Community Service and continuing Education. It also takes
the form of joint activities with various institutions of society, joint committees
between the college and ministries and other government entities, and advisory
committees that provide opportunities to exchange expertise between the uni-
versity and the various establishments in the community. The college organized
various activities for the community such as, “The Impact of Psychological Ten-
sions on Health” in collaboration with Mawaleh Medical Center and the campaign
of “Ana Amanatuk” that seeks to protect children. In addition, the college contrib-
uted in the activities of “Oman Environment Day” which was held by the Ministry
of Environment and Climate Affairs. Moreover, there are consultancy committees
in which the departments consult with representatives of both private and public
sectors to exchange expertise between the faculty in the college and other insti-
tutions’ representatives. Through these committees, the college probes the de-
mands of the labor market and the competencies our graduates need in order to
fulfill these demands. Thus, our programs are attuned to providing our graduates
with the necessary skills.
In the 2013-2014 academic year, the college participated in 230 community ac-
tivities, comprising awareness lectures, consultancies, conferences, seminars and
other training programs.
22
College Administration
The college administration provides administrative and financial support for all
college activities and programs conducted by faculty, staff and administrators.
The administration also coordinates with all concerned administrative units with-
in the university to provide necessary support for all student activities, including
their transportation to practical training sites or to collect information for their
research. In addition, the administration manages all financial issues related to
travel of members of the academic, administrative, and technical units, including
conference travel and other official trips. It is responsible for arranging students’
travel outside the country for further training and for their visits to external con-
ferences. The administration strives to ensure the university environment and its
facilities allow faculty to perform at the highest level by providing them with all
tools and equipment necessary for their work, such as computers, laptops, soft-
ware, audiovisual equipment, etc.

Academic Programs
The college offers eleven degree programs at the BA level
in Arabic Language and Literature, English Language and
Literature, Translation, History, Geography, Sociology, Social
Work, Information Studies, Mass Media, Tourism and Music and
Musicology. BA study extends over four years (eight semesters)
after completing the foundation program, during which students
are required to complete 120 credit hours for graduation, an
average of 18-15 credit hours per semester. The college follows
SQU’s Academic Regulations, which stipulate that the academic
year comprises two semesters (Fall, Spring), with fifteen weeks
each followed by an examination period. A summer intensive
session of 7 weeks plus exam time held at the end of each year.
The college academic regulations allow students to pursue a
single major or to combine a major with a minor. Students wishing
to enquire about this option should consult their academic
advisors prior to the end of the first semester to determine an
appropriate course of study combining a major and a minor.
Studying in the college involves both theoretical and practical
courses, depending on the nature of the major. Practical training
and field trips are integral to the educational process in the
college, as their purpose is to develop the students’ professional
competencies and relate theory to practice.
Majors in the college are divided into two types:
24
I. General Arts Majors
These majors require students in their first semester to take an introduction to
one of the following majors:
• Arabic Language and Literature
• History
• Sociology
• Social Work
Prior to the end of the semester, the college distributes a form for students to
choose their major. In the second semester, they join one of the above-mentioned
majors according to the following criteria:
1. Student’s choice
2. The capacity in each major
3. If the demand for a major is higher than the available places, selection is
based on the student’s grades in the introductory course and his/her overall
GPA;
4. Where a student’s first choice is not met, his/her second choice is considered,
and so on. It is therefore important that students list their choices carefully.
II. English, Translation and bilingual majors

These majors include English Language and Literature, Translation, Geography,
Mass Communication, Information Studies, Tourism, and Music and Musicology.
These majors are chosen by students when they enter the university.
Admission into these majors depends on students’ level in Arabic and English
in the secondary school diploma examinations and their performance in the
common entrance examination administered by the Language Center. Students
25
interested in a major in Music and Musicology are required to
pass a special aptitude test conducted by the college.
III. Minors
Some departments do not offer a separate BA program
but rather offer minors and supporting courses for other
departments and these supporting departments are Archeology
and Theatre.

The Department of Arabic Language and Literature
There is no doubt that Arabic is the national language of all Ar-
abs which is connected to their lives through religion, politics,
science, arts, civilization and identity. It forms the unique and
lasting bond between all Arabs. It is the national language of
Oman, a symbol of its unity and identity, and an integral part of
its heritage. For these reasons, the study of Arabic is an essen-
tial requirement in the university. The importance of Arabic is
reflected and emphasized in His Majesty’s vision statement. This
vision has been fulfilled at the international and local levels. His
Majesty has given grants to some of the world’s top universities,
including Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Beijing, Melbourne and
Georgetown. At each of these prestigious universities, a “Sultan
Qaboos Chair for Arabic Studies” has been established. At the
national level, His Majesty has decreed that Arabic is the official
language of the Sultanate and he constantly issues directives
for enhancing and developing the language using modern tech-
niques.
The Department of Arabic Language and Literature is conscious
of the tremendous responsibility it has to serve and promote
the language through its teaching and research. Since the de-
partment’s inception in 1987, it has worked hard to develop
programs that meet the needs of the Omani society and keep
abreast of modern developments in linguistics. The department
started with a BA program, later introduced a Master’s program
and now offers a PhD program. It plans to use the considerable
range of experience and diverse qualifications of its staff by in-
29
troducing diploma programs that meet the needs of the market place.
The department aspires to hold a prominent position among Arabic Departments
regionally and internationally through its programs and study plans at BA, MA and
PhD levels. In this way, the department will be able to serve the Arabic heritage,
preserve the language, and present it to students in the best manner possible.
Vision
The department aspires to play a leading role in the preservation of the Arab
nation’s heritage and language, to present the language to students in the best
manner possible, and thereby become a center of excellence for teaching and
studying Arabic language and literature.
Mission
The department is committed to instilling a sense of Arabic identity in students
by urging them to be proud of their language and nationhood. It also seeks
to teach Arabic to non-native speakers and to provide specialists with quality
training in Arabic language and literature to enable them to serve their coun-
try and nation.
Objectives
The department aims to:
1. raise students’ awareness of the importance of Arabic to their lives and
familiarize them with its historical, religious and cultural importance and its
contribution to human civilization
2. instill in students a love of Arabic as their national language and a major
30
construct of their national, cultural and social identity
3. train students in the proper use of Arabic and develop their linguistic and
aesthetic understanding of a variety of texts
4. develop students’ competencies in different genres of the language, such as
poetry and prose
5. contribute to the intellectual and cultural activity inside the university and
beyond.
The Department of Arabic Language and Literature contributes significantly to the

educational process and research at SQU in the following ways:
1. At the University Level:

• The department offers an Arabic course as a university requirement, along
with several elective courses.

The Department of English Language and
Literature
launched in 1987, the Department of English Language and Lit-
erature is one of the largest departments in the college. The
growing importance of English as a global language of commu-

The Department of Sociology and Social Work
studing in the Department of Sociology coincided with the
opening of the College of Arts and Social Sciences in 1987. The
social work program was introduced later, in 2001. In sociology,
study focuses on analyzing social structures, identifying the
causes of social problems and phenomena and proposing
solutions and recommendations to deal with them. In social
work, the study focuses on learning professional intervention
methods to help individuals, groups and communities learn how
to adapt in order to live in social harmony.
Academic and research interests of faculty cover a wide range

of issues, including the study of social phenomena of interest
to the community, especially those related to modernization,
the development process and social change. Staff members
also conduct research in the areas of social development and
social work, and professional practices in the areas of health,
education, employment, environment, media, population,
social security and defense, etc. Research interests also cover
modern trends in the practice of social work and the study of
social transformations at local, regional and international levels.
65
Vision
and research in sociology and social work, thereby contributing to the social,
economic and cultural development of Omani society.
Mission
The department is committed to training students in sociology and providing
them with appropriate methodologies for social research and the skills need-
ed for research design and implementation. It also seeks to provide them with
the knowledge and skills needed to join professional practices in social work
which will help them build their capacity to deal effectively with a wide array
of social problems.
Objectives
1. prepare a generation of national social researchers and social workers who
possess high levels of expertise in the study of social problems and phenomena
empower students with the skills needed to work in social work institutions,
deal professionally with individuals and groups in Omani society, and support
development programs and modernization
2. train students in community and volunteer work as a way to strengthen their
spirit of loyalty and nationhood
3. prepare students to participate in social counselling and awareness programs
and to conduct fieldwork and theoretical research using appropriate scientific
methodology
4. participate effectively in a wide array of activities and programs that serve
66
the community.
Since its inception, the department has continued to follow the
latest professional, epistemic and methodological developments
pertinent to teaching and research in the areas of social and social
work. The department continues to develop its study programs in
an attempt to meet the demands of development and the require-
ments of the labor market. In addition, it seeks to interact with
various social sectors in the community as a way of preserving the
inherent values of the Omani society and its heritage, and to con-
nect this heritage to the present. It also endeavors to study and
propose solutions for the pressing problems in the society. The de-
partment’s role is not limited to the materialistic components re-
lated to the needs of labor market; rather it believes that it should
attend to the cultural needs of the community-an area of teaching
and research-in a way that highlights Oman’s true heritage, culture
and identity.
In addition to the department’s two majors, it presently has ac-
ademic and administrative oversight over the philosophy courses
offered in the college, some of which, such as “scientific thinking
and problem solving” are college requirements, while others are
university and college electives. These courses, which are offered
in all semesters, seek to develop the students’ critical thinking skills
and introduce them to philosophy and its important role in the so-
ciety, as well as introducing them to both the Islamic philosophical
heritage and contemporary philosophical thought.

The Department of Information Studies
Sultan Qaboos University is the only institution in the Sultanate
of Oman to offer a major in Information Studies. Established in
the academic year 1987-1988 with the opening of the college
The department seeks to meet the needs of the Omani society
for qualified specialists in the field of Libraries and Information
Studies.
The department’s academic staff cover a wide range of scholar-
ly interests and professional expertise and strongly support the
department philosophy that information science is not merely
applying technical means to regulate sources of information;
rather it is a dynamic and evolving human service influenced
by the evolution of knowledge and the various techniques of
managing it. Information Studies deal with the outcome of hu-
man thoughts and the need of humans for knowledge. It there-
fore responds to developments in cultures and civilizations. This
makes information studies an integral part of intellectual activi-
ty and the educational process and, to some extent, the overall
developmental process.
Because of the importance of the discipline in the modern
world, the department has developed graduate study programs
to complement the BA degree in Library and Information Stud-
ies. The department has launched a high diploma in medical li-
braries -a unique program in the region, which responds to the
needs of health information institutions in the Sultanate. This
new program will accept students from other nationalities at
71
some time in the future. The department also offers a MA degree in Library and
Information Studies, which aims to provide a specialized and professionally orien-
tated education in this area.
The department’s four programs (BA, MA, High Diploma in Medical Library and
PhD) are designed to prepare professionals who can solve problems, manage and
organize knowledge, deal with information databases, systems and techniques,
communicate with information beneficiaries and respond to their diverse needs.
They are trained to search for information on the web, design information-re-
lated web sites and design search utilities on these sites. These skills are in high
demand by learning centers in schools and colleges and other information institu-
tions in the private and public sectors, as well as in different types of libraries. The
PhD program has been a significant addition to the department.
Vision
The department aspires to become a leading center of excellence and innova-
tion in information studies and other related services at local and regional lev-

The Department of Theater Arts
The opening of the Department of Theater Arts in 1991 was
an important milestone in the history of Omani theater, for it
marked the beginning of specialized academic study of theater
arts in Oman which has boosted the culture of drama in Oman
and enriched it with trained personnel in a variety of theater-re-
lated areas (criticism and playwriting, acting, directing, costume
and set design). Since 1995, when its first batch of students grad-
uated, the department has instituted a graduation requirement
in the form of an annual performance project. In this project,
students showcase their skills and talents in drama production
and acting, staging and directing. This annual performance has
become a university fixture attended by other specialists from
within and outside the university. In addition, the design stu-
dents have showcased their artwork in art fairs held within the
different university halls. Currently, the department does not
offer an academic program at the BA level, but offers elective
courses in drama open to all students. In the current academ-
ic year 2013-2014, the department has introduced a minor in
theatrical arts in playwriting, which is open to all students in the
university.

excellence in teaching and research in theater arts at local
and regional levels by adopting a philosophy geared to
providing a practical and high quality education.

the college building. It is administered by the college deanship
and supervised by the library committee which works in
coordination with the main library.

required textbooks. The unit distributes books to students at the
beginning of each semester and collects them back at the end
of the semester.
