Humanities

The Humanities Department maintains a unique position within our college of technology. The
department offers courses in art history, communication, foreign language, music and theatre, providing
students with laboratories for creative expression, cultural and historical understanding, and practical
tool sets for work and living. These enriching competencies help students appreciate multiple
perspectives and synthesize ideas, ultimately laying the groundwork for a sense of possibility and a
clearer recognition of an individual’s place in society. Our courses complement the study of science,
technology, engineering, mathematics and human services. The integration of the arts and
communication studies into a general education curriculum produces demonstrably positive results in
academic performance. By engaging with the humanities, students become more deeply invested in
learning, cultivate a sensitivity to cultural diversity, think more critically and develop superior problem solving and entrepreneurial skills. Beyond the classroom, our courses prepare students for a diverse and
fast-changing job market, where multilingualism, effective communications skills and advocacy of
human and environmental concerns have become preeminent. The practice and appreciation of the
visual and performing arts find concrete applications not only in the STEM disciplines but also in a range
of real-world careers. Humanities courses fulfill general education requirements and, in some cases,
degree requirements as well.
