Opportunities: 
  • Graduate study: The Humanities program assists students who are looking ahead to graduate study by providing them with a broad education before they narrow the focus of their studies in graduate school.
     
  • Seminary preparation: Some seminary programs encourage students to pursue a general liberal arts education in their undergraduate studies. The Humanities program provides a course of study that meets this demand.
     
  • Life-long learning: Students who learn how to think critically during their college years lay a foundation for further learning and intellectual growth throughout their lives. Many job situations demand first and foremost the ability to think critically.
