Humanities Division

The humanities are the branches of learning primarily concerned with the creation and understanding of meaning in human experience—the study of human culture and ideas. Humanities disciplines include history; languages; literature; philosophy; religious studies; and the theory, criticism, and history of the arts. Common to all our disciplines is a focus on texts of various kinds and on the history, geography, representation, and transmission of ideas. The division offers general education courses, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, and sponsors co-curricular programs in the humanities.
