Welcome to SASS

Established in 2000, the West Virginia University Eberly College of Arts and Science’s School of Applied Social Sciences (known as “SASS”) brings together four academic programs dedicated to preparing students for rewarding careers in professions in service to society, communities, and people. Consisting of the Divisions of Public Administration, Social Work, Sociology & Anthropology, and the Cultural Resource Management Program (CRM) the school seeks to bring together these programs in order to enrich learning opportunities for students, encourage collaborative effort in research and discovery, and to engage others with outreach and service efforts that serve West Virginia, its communities, and beyond.
