About
the Institute
The
study of the humanities covers a broad range of ideas and subjects drawn
from philosophy, art, literature, history, religion, science, and social
and political thought.
Through an interdisciplinary approach to classical, medieval,
renaissance, and modern culture, the study of the humanities raises
critical questions about the achievements and controversies associated
with the human condition.
Students are encouraged to examine the knowledge and ideas central to
the humanities and to integrate these concerns in original and critical
ways.
