The Division of Humanities
The Humanities Division provides a storehouse of opportunities for the development and enrichment of the whole person: a person who can think logically, write with persuasion and entertainment, and read analytically; a person who is keenly aware of the inner life of choice, reflection and commitment. Through the study of literature and history, religion and philosophy, students engage themselves with the cultural heritage and with the questions and issues with which humans have struggled through the ages. Through the study of English, students develop capacities for more articulate expression; through the study of other languages, they develop the capacity for appreciating and understanding more fully different cultures.
Majors are offered in Classics, English, History, Religion, Philosophy, and, within the Modern Languages Department, French, German, and Spanish.
Students also may be licensed to teach in English, History, French, German, and Spanish. Students in the Humanities find careers in a broad variety of fields, including business, the law, the ministry, journalism, and various fields within the arts. The Carthage Humanities faculty is committed to working with students to help them become "people who know how to live, as well as how to earn a living."
