Division of Humanities
The Division of Humanities embraces the traditional aim of a liberal education: a critical understanding of diverse cultures as expressed in their literature, art, ideas and values. The College also strives to foster analytic, interpretive, creative and interpersonal abilities, as well as communication skills (both oral and written) which are fundamental to functioning effectively in the College and in the larger community.
The programs in the Division all have course offerings which are designed to teach students to develop, evaluate and express their ideas critically. Through these courses, along with interaction with faculty and other students, the Division of Humanities contributes to the formation of responsible citizens and competent professionals.
