Humanities

The School of Humanities seeks to provide a foundation in the search for truth about what it means to be fully human. Because the humanities closely connect with other academic disciplines, the study of the humanities helps students to weave whole cloth out of the disparate pieces of the human experience. Through the study of languages, literature, philosophy and theology, humanities faculty guide students in their quest for answers to questions not only of who we are but also of how we should live. As a result, the humanities naturally involve abstract thought and force students to develop their powers of critical thinking, as well as the ability to communicate effectively. Our humanities graduates consistently report that they feel well-prepared for their graduate courses. Students may select from among these majors: English, foreign language, religion and religion/philosophy.
