The humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences encompasses story, culture, ideas, language, interpretation, actual pasts and possible futures, and much else that touches upon ordinary human concerns. Our students and alumni often remark upon the deep relevance of what they learn to their everyday lives. While each of the seven humanities departments represents a unique set of academic interests, they all tap into collective curiosities about ourselves and others in order to inspire new ways of understanding, and improving, the world.
Our award-winning faculty researchers, writers, and educators also provide students with essential skills – from the traditional to the cutting edge – for their lives after graduation. Co-op opportunities likewise help students discover how to put their passions into practice in nearly any career. Today’s humanities majors are tomorrow’s most thoughtful and innovative leaders.
