The School of Humanities draws upon the basic building blocks of the Western intellectual and cultural traditions, as well as the traditions of non-Western cultures. Every aspect of human learning and history is engaged from the distinctive standpoint of the Christian tradition. We believe that all history, ideas and creativity flow from and ultimately point back to God, who created us and transforms us (and our human cultures). The School of Humanities seeks to actively and positively engage contemporary culture in light of the Gospel.

While academic excellence and engagement are hallmarks of the School of Humanities, we are also engaged with our students on a personal and pastoral level. Regular academic pathway interviews and a program to assist academically struggling students form important aspects of the close and caring environment of the School of Humanities.

Students in Humanities have the opportunity to choose major areas of study from among the following disciplines:

• Creative Writing
• History
