Welcome

The Humanities are where the arts, language, and culture come together to define who we are as a community, a nation, and ultimately our legacy as inhabitants of this world. Our faculty strive to infuse creative critical thought into all aspects of learning while simultaneously inspiring a love and appreciation for the disciplines. Whether you are playing a sax, mixing paints, reading Whitman, or studying Buddhism, the Humanities are where the seeds of inspiration are allowed to bloom.

If you are interested in any of our courses, have questions, or would just like to explore what we have to offer, please come and visit the Humanities Office .

Thanks,
Leo Hwang-Carlos

The Humanities Mission

Beauty in articulation,
the aesthetics of the human condition,
a synthesis of eroticism and Foucault.
Curious,the rhythm of risk and irrationality,
the spiritual romance of reason,
that sensual gesticulation of the senses,
that dialectic of hidden narrative,
that pursuit of truth.
