Department of Humanities and Communication

Study Culture, Media and Society

The Humanities and Communication Department is more than a place to study. It’s a place to explore big questions about culture, identity, power and change. Our programs invite students to examine the world through literature, history, media, journalism and the arts while building the communication skills to share ideas and advocate for justice.

Through service learning, applied research and community partnerships, students connect their studies to real-world issues and career paths in law, media, education, nonprofits and beyond. It’s a place where critical thinking meets public engagement, where you learn not only how to analyze the world, but how to change it.
