The Faculty of Arts, Letters and Social Sciences (FALSS) is a public institution within the University of Yaounde I. Formerly known as the Faculty of Letters and Social Sciences, it owes its current name to the 1993 university reform, following President Decrees No. 93/027 and No. 93/036 of 19 January 1993, to lay down, respectively, common provisions for State universities and the administrative and academic organization of the University of Yaounde I.
