The Humanities Program educates students in the ways
of thinking and acting from a global and interdisciplinary perspective by fostering engagement with the diverse, dynamic and interconnected products of human thought and creativity. The study of Humanities allows students to develop a foundational understanding of personal and community values, cultural views, religious beliefs and aesthetic practices and theories and how these shape the way we view the world and ourselves. The Certificate of Achievement in Humanities demonstrates the student’s solid background in the critical and empathetic thinking skills that mark the deliberate thought processes and formation of complex questions without definitive answers that are the hallmark of the Humanities. This certificate allows students to acquire lifelong practices that foster true knowledge as distinct from an aggregate of information and facts. These skills and competencies are applicable across disciplines and will enrich a wide variety of majors and professional careers.
Program Learning Outcomes - upon completion, students will be able to:
• Synthesize critical, empathetic, creative, cooperative and
independent thinking skills.
• Demonstrate the ability, both orally and in writing, to analyze
meaning within various modes of cultural production in relation to their political, economic, social and religious context.
• Formulate knowledge of the deep connections between and within the complexities of diverse historical periods and cultural traditions as a framework for a dynamic understanding of the contemporary world.
• Develop the practice of thinking through moral and ethical problems and examining one’s own assumptions.
• Deepen sources of wisdom through a complex understanding of how others have dealt with failures, successes, adversities and triumphs.
