Humanities

Integrate intellectual and character formation by studying history’s great arts and ideas.

Humanities at King’s

The Humanities major at The King’s College is a liberal arts degree spanning the disciplines of history, philosophy, literature, and arts to present the ideas that have shaped Western Civilization for centuries. Humanities majors study “the best that has been thought and said,” to use the words of the English poet Matthew Arnold. Graduates come to understand how intellectual and character formation are inseparable, and how the arts and ideas of Western Civilization intersect with the history of Christian faith and practice.
