The Division of Humanities offers courses designed to prepare students for life in their own cultural setting by providing them the necessary skills and knowledge to continue intellectual development and character formation throughout their lives. We subscribe to the philosophy of John Stuart Mill who wrote, "The purpose of education is to make capable and cultivated human beings", and of Herbert Spencer who wrote, "Education has for its object the formation of character."  We believe that the best preparation for any career includes study in courses that teach critical thinking, the student''''s own culture, appreciation of diverse cultures, and positive character formation-those courses that, in short, help people to become more capable and to live more satisfying and productive lives.

The Division of Humanities offers courses in English, Humanities, Fine Arts, Foreign Languages (French, German, and Spanish), Mass Communications, Music, Religion and Philosophy, Speech and Drama.
