About the Faculty
The Faculty of Arts at Plateau State University, Bokkos was established in 2013 when its programmes moved from the former School of Arts and Social Sciences as the University adopted the faculty system. It runs three degree-awarding programmes across its departments and has produced 272 graduates to date. Our staff combine teaching with active research and community service — from the recording, transcription and translation of Plateau State folktales, songs, proverbs and riddles in the Department of English, to the community theatre outreach of the Department of Theatre Arts, much of it supported by TETFund Institution-Based Research grants. Several members pursue postdoctoral research abroad and present at international conferences, and our students have won national and international awards.
