College of Humanities

Welcome

Studies in the Humanities prepare students to graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in a rapidly changing, highly diverse and internationally competitive world.

Our students find career opportunities in wide-ranging fields, including the legal and medical professions, nonprofit organizations, interpreting and translating services, journalism, advertising, creative and technical writing, human resources, banking, teaching, and countless others.

At the core of who we are in the Humanities is a process of inquiry that leads us to understand both ourselves and others through critical thinking, critical examination and critical analysis.
