Message from the Dean

We would like to invite you to get to know us through this Web site and its links to our departments and programs. The study of the world's languages, literatures, and cultures is one of the great human enterprises. The College offers many opportunities for you to explore and participate in this diverse enterprise through its major courses of study, community programs, partnerships, and special events.

The College of Humanities includes the departments and programs in Africana Studies, Classics, Religious Studies, Critical Languages (the less commonly taught languages), East Asian Studies, English, French and Italian, German Studies, Russian and Slavic Studies, and Spanish and Portuguese. Many faculty in the College are affiliated with the highly regarded Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching.

We are also proud to be the home of the Poetry Center, a nationally renowned center for the literary arts since 1960; the internationally heralded Center for English as a Second Language; and the Humanities Seminars Program, now in its 21st year of offering a wide array of rigorous and stimulating noncredit courses to adults in the community.
