Humanities and Teacher Education Division

 

Our Humanities and Teacher Education Division designs curriculum to develop our students' appreciation of the breadth of their cultural heritage, while increasing their cultural experience and sensitivity. Students specialize in one area of the humanities, encouraging them to appreciate the interrelationship of all areas of human thought while providing pre-professional enrichment.
