Welcome to the Center for the Humanities

An interdisciplinary, liberal arts program with core courses emphasizing a specialized study of history, literature, art and culture

Life isn't neatly divided into subjects. At the Center for the Humanities, learning isn't either.

World events inspire writers. Writers inspire people to change the course of history. The natural world sparks wonder. Mathematicians and philosophers seek understanding and wisdom. Their pursuit emboldens artists, scientists, architects, and engineers to shape the environment we live in. These contributions are set forth into the world, orbiting and augmenting our own experiences, laying the groundwork for history anew.

Using an interdisciplinary approach steeped in experiences, discussion, and thought, students learn to make sense of the world — not with static perspectives, siloed content, or disjointed curriculum — but in the connected, holistic, and communal way great minds of all civilizations have.

Thinking is our specialty at the Center for the Humanities.
