The teachings of Plato and Aristotle. The dynamics of world politics and how other nations' world views affect their consequent actions. Which factors affect life choices.

Our humanities and social sciences programs launch students on a constant search for knowledge and the keys to understanding the human condition.

Study of fundamental questions such as these is much more than simply a worthy academic pursuit. Study of these questions changes the way you view the world and, more profoundly, the way you see yourself.

The combination of skills and knowledge our students acquire leads to jobs and post-graduate educational choices.

Our programs will take you to new places in your mind.
