College of Humanities

Our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to victims, survivors and loved ones who were targeted during their Friday prayers by a heinous act of terror that took the lives of fifty people and injured fifty more at the al Noor and Linwood mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. We stand in solidarity with the grieving Muslim community at this time, offering our heartfelt solace for this tragic loss. We strongly condemn the growth of Islamophobic, anti-immigrant and white supremacist rhetoric which has resulted in ever frequent acts of terrorism, in the U.S. and internationally. The violent rhetoric of hate and white nationalism that is on the rise increasingly puts at risk all communities of color, LGBTQ communities and, in particular, immigrant communities. The mission of our college, to educate students about the diversity of cultures, and help them become responsible global citizens committed to principles of diversity, equality and justice for all is more important now than ever and we will continue to work toward manifesting that mission.

Welcome to Humanities

As education becomes ever more focused on professional degrees and vocational training, employers increasingly report that what they seek is not necessarily more specialized degrees but rather people who can think, who can synthesize, who can analyze, and who can apply a broad base of thought to a wide variety of areas. The College of Humanities teaches students to read, write and think. Our graduates are prepared for a 21st-century workforce that advances those who have the power not just to achieve and innovate but to communicate their ideas to an audience beyond their applied field.
