Leadership in the Humanities
The humanities — academic disciplines that allow us to interpret human culture — are central to the mission of a liberal arts education. Through areas of study such as literature, religion, visual and performing arts, and social sciences, students discover new perspectives on the world and learn to see, evaluate, and communicate the human experience.
Georgetown College is home to many academic departments and programs that provide a thorough exploration of the humanities, be it through literary texts, artistic creations, material objects, or critical concepts.
