HUMANITIES<br />
BACHELOR OF ARTS<br />
(BA)<br />
The humanities program has as its central<br />
goal the encouragement <strong>of</strong> constructive<br />
citizenship. We want our students to have the<br />
capacity to understand the political and cultural<br />
worlds they inhabit, to appreciate the values <strong>of</strong><br />
freedom and equality, and to resist forces that<br />
threaten these values. Our fundamental faith is<br />
that education is the key to citizenship and human<br />
flourishing, the fundamental bulwark against oppression.<br />

Humanities students graduate with skills prized by<br />
corporations and in sectors, such as information technology,<br />
finance, natural resources, utilities, and manufacturing.<br />
Humanists work in government at all levels, and in fields<br />
such as medicine, law and journalism. Humanities students<br />
have a wide outlook and the versatility required to adapt to<br />
a rapidly shifting workplace. They are visionaries and<br />
seekers who see beyond the commonplace and status<br />
quo. They have skills in writing, analyzing and evaluating,<br />
they have ethical insight and leadership potential.<br />
