Surat (Gujarat) [India], May 19: Reinforcing its commitment towards multidisciplinary and future-focused education, Sarvajanik University has launched the specialized undergraduate programmes under its newly established constituent institute, Sarvajanik College of Liberal Arts (SCLA), for the academic year 2026–27.
With the vision of “Empowering Decisions, Enriching Lives,” the newly launched programmes are designed to help students understand and bridge the gap between human behaviour, societal structures and data-driven insights.
The institute has introduced B.A. Economics (Major) and B.A. Psychology (Major) programmes, both structured to combine academic depth with practical and research-oriented learning. While the Economics programme focuses on understanding markets, human behaviour, incentives, numbers and policymaking, the Psychology programme aims to decode human experience through scientific and behavioural understanding.
What makes the programmes distinctive is their interdisciplinary structure aligned with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP). Students will have the flexibility to complement their majors with minors in Statistics, Mass Communication, Economics and Psychology, enabling them to build customized academic pathways suited to evolving career aspirations.
The curriculum has been carefully designed to nurture analytical and professional competencies required in today’s dynamic world. Students will develop a strong foundation in analytical, computing, numerical and communication skills, making them industry ready as well as academically prepared for higher studies and research.
Highlighting the academic philosophy of SCLA, university authorities stated that the programmes focus on interdisciplinary learning, inquiry-driven education and future-ready skills. The pedagogy will integrate classroom learning with projects, field exposure, critical thinking exercises and research-based activities to create well-rounded graduates capable of addressing real-world challenges.
