Fine Arts and Humanities

The Fine Arts and Humanities Department offers courses that introduce you to the history, literature, performing arts, philosophy, religion and visual arts of a society. This knowledge helps provide a well-rounded education to give you a broad-minded perspective that is valuable for success in any career.

Our arts courses cover everything from art history and art appreciation to hands-on classes where you’ll create your own art. There are courses ranging from digital art to fine art to music to theater. Your creative spirit will soar as you explore the various aspects of fine and performing arts.

Humanities courses allow you to explore the cultural aspects of Western society and other cultures from around the world. You can explore the artistic, religious and philosophical expressions that helped shape thought throughout history. You’ll discover how mythology impacted societies.

Philosophy classes ask and answer difficult questions in life such as: What is the purpose of existence? What is the nature of reality? What is happiness? What is right or wrong? What is the mind? What is the nature of religion? Can animals be persons?

Philosophy students gain critical thinking, writing, and reading skills that are essential to a liberal arts education and for leading a meaningful life.
