The Faculty of Arts aims to provide distinguished academic programs that keep pace with developments in the fields of languages, literature, and the humanities. It also strives to achieve a notable cultural and academic presence by organizing specialized scientific and cultural activities, as well as conferences that enrich the knowledge and experiences of both students and faculty. These efforts prepare students to contribute to societal development, cultural enrichment, and fruitful human interaction through the programs offered. The faculty builds on the heritage of human knowledge and keeps pace with advancements in various fields of languages, literature, and the humanities, ultimately aiming to graduate distinguished specialists in the fields offered by the faculty.

The Master’s program in Arabic Language and Literature was established in the first semester of the 2022/2023 academic year due to the university’s possession of the necessary resources, infrastructure, and qualified staff. This program produces specialized students with the skills needed to work within state institutions and research centers, as well as to support teaching staff both domestically and abroad.

The Faculty of Arts continues to uphold the mission of Ajloun National University in the realm of human knowledge. It collaborates with other faculties of arts in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Arab world, and globally, ensuring that our students remain engaged in global human knowledge.
