The Humanities

The humanities are academic disciplines that explore the human experience, culture, and society through critical analysis, interpretation, and creativity. At the College of Arts and Sciences they encompass fields like literature, history, philosophy, languages, art, and cultural studies, focusing on understanding human values, ideas, and the ways people express themselves. Through the humanities, we examine what it means to be human, connect with diverse perspectives, and gain insights into our past, present, and future.
