Humanities

The study of humanities is the study of what makes us all human and shows us our need to reach for great things whether we are inspired by high  ideals or questioning the unknown.

Human beings have always needed to express themselves through music, through painting, through stories, and through quests for answers to the great unknowns in our lives. Wherever there have been humans, there has been art, and as humans we have a natural instinct to express ourselves in many different ways.  From scratching a design on the inside of a bowl, to painting a ceiling on a vault 130 ft. long and 65 feet off the ground, art inspires us.  From singing songs of heroes while strumming simple stringed instruments, to synthesizing eloquently the soaring sounds of a symphony, we delight in music’s advances. From carving and casting great statues to utilizing the harmony of mathematics in architecture, we see grandeur.  From reading about those who willingly martyr themselves for great ideas, to reaching for education as a way to diminish humankind’s eternal questions, we learn to challenge our own ideas and passions. 

Take a humanities course and reach for the known and the unknown! Join us at the Tarpon Springs Campus.
