The Humanities program provides students with a comprehensive exploration of cultural experiences via interdisciplinary humanities education. Both undergraduate and graduate learners examine creative expressions, cultural principles, and perspectives from various human societies throughout history. Students pursuing humanities degrees investigate techniques for synthesizing diverse disciplines like literature, music, visual arts, and architecture to form a unified perspective on global cultural richness.

This holistic examination of American and international cultures equips humanities graduates with valuable skills for careers in government, corporate sectors, legal fields, education, and creative industries. Students may combine specialized vocational training (in areas like TESOL, journalism, museum studies) with their humanities major or minor. The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities also serves as strong preparation for K-12 teaching credential programs, while Master's degree holders gain qualifications for community college teaching positions.
