This study aimed at identifying the social responsibility of the BA degree students in the faculties of the Hashemite University, as viewed by the students. The study sample consisted of (850) students in the first semester of the academic year 2016/2017. The researchers constructed a fifty three-item questionnaire, which covered four dimensions. The data were processed statistically; and the level of the social responsibility was high for all its dimensions among the students of the faculties of the Hashemite University. The dimensions were in the following order: the ethical and religious responsibility; national responsibility; collective responsibility; and self-responsibility, respectively. The results did not show statistically significant differences in the social responsibility level attributed to the gender, college, grade level, and accumulative average variables. The researchers recommended placing particular care on the social responsibility throughout all the educational stages, which will be realized by allocating special chapters in the curricula and educational courses, particularly those concerning the citizen. They further recommended working toward following up and supporting the University facilities in a manner that meets and matches the actual needs of the students. Finally, the researchers recommended increasing the awareness of the university young people with their age groups.
