Understanding
Impact
Humanities is your passport to explore the rich map of human experience.
Culture, philosophy, literature, foreign languages, history. Humanities puts it all together. Our program is the best way to understand the complexity of society, focusing on political, social, emotional, economic and cultural implications. How will a factory impact the environment? What are the ethics behind AI? Should cities focus on electric vehicles or public transportation? Through our program, you can navigate these problems and create solutions by using logic in a contextual universe.
Apply
Take your place with the next class of leaders who use imagination and logic to create solutions for a better world.
Wide-Ranging
The world needs people who can recognize and embody empathy, from nurses to engineers to teachers.
Great Value
How great? College Factual ranks us a one of the top schools for overall value.
Enrich Your
Education
Through carefully crafted courses and hands-on opportunities.
With three emphases in the major and seven in the minor, our Humanities program provides a broad array of skills, while you can still focus in fields like Ancient & Medieval Studies or Film & Cinema. What you learn will also extend beyond the classroom—we provide experiences that help you apply skills and undergo personal growth, like study abroad, community internships and campus-wide debates about current events. All the while honing your talents in critical thinking, communication and adaptability—the very skills sought after in today's job market.
