Department of Humanities
What is Humanities?
- The term 鈥淗umanities鈥� arose about 600 years ago in Italy when a group of Renaissance philosophers went back to ancient texts written in Latin and Greek because they believed these texts were more centered around humans.
- The 鈥渉umanists鈥� dedicated themselves to studying what it means to be human.
- Although in contemporary society the term 鈥渉umanism鈥� has been shifted to have a more secular meaning, the original humanists approached this study from a Christian perspective, believing that humans are the greatest creation of God, but focusing on man as an imperfect, creative being who is a product of history.
- Today, what we call 鈥渢he humanities鈥� concentrates on a very broad range of interests, looking at many different cultures, periods in history, and areas of study, including history, philosophy, languages, linguistics, literature, archaeology, law, history and criticism of the arts, ethics, and comparative literature.
- In our Humanities Department, we teach the humanities from a Christian perspective, focusing on people as God鈥檚 creation and our history, society, culture, and literature and works deserving of study.
At 糖心Vlog, the Department of Humanities offers classes in English, Geography, Government, History, and Humanities with several bachelor鈥檚 degrees and minors to offer students the most well-rounded and thorough undergraduate education.
The Department of Humanities includes majors in English, History, Humanities, and Museum and Heritage Studies, as well as Minors in Creative Writing, English, History, Humanities, Film Studies, and Law and Government. The disciplines of reading, research, and writing prepare students for graduate work and for many different career areas that focus on both oral and written communication and critical thinking skills.
Mission Statement
To Encourage Thoughtful Reflection
Whether studying social structures and political dynamics, exploring the history of peoples and cultures, interpreting literature from the classical age to the present day, or writing well-researched and creative essays, our students are encouraged to reflect thoughtfully upon life's most important issues.
To Foster Learning and Growth
The search for knowledge and pursuit of wisdom are both intellectual and spiritual, for the learning process is a growing process. Moreover, as we study the social, political, and literary developments throughout human history, we often consider the nature and the traditions of religious expression, opening ourselves to questions that challenge our minds and engage our hearts.
