Arts and Humanities

The arts and humanities examine what it means to be human across time and place. They connect us to our past, help us understand the present, and allow us to envision the future of human experience. In the arts and humanities – from the visual and performing arts to history, literature, languages, communication, ethnic studies, and philosophy – students acquire skills that are essential for a successful and meaningful life: to think critically, communicate effectively, work collaboratively, and express themselves creatively. The study of the arts and humanities fosters a deeper intercultural understanding that prepares students to become future leaders equipped to meet the challenges of their communities and beyond.
