Humanities

Anna Proffit

Department Chairperson

The Humanities department includes four academic disciplines: Humanities, Foreign Languages, Philosophy, and Fine Arts.

​Mission

The Department of Humanities focuses on the understanding of the role of arts and ideas in a global culture and within the history of ideas both related to and independent of time and place. Our department offers a student-centered approach for individuals with diverse cultural, ethnic and economic backgrounds, genders, talents, interests, and abilities. In partnership with students, we will foster critical and independent thinking, as well as an appreciation for various cultural expressions. At the same time, the students will develop analytical skills and effective writing, speaking and comprehension strategies for dealing with literary and visual works.
