The Humanities

On a basic level, the humanities are a series of disciplines encompassing the ideals of the past that shape the world we live in today. The humanities—literature, creative writing, history, politics, and more—are an invitation into the human experience, an invitation to the heights, depths, triumphs, and tragedies of what it means to be a human being.

The Arts

The arts are a wide range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling, and cultural participation. They encompass multiple diverse modes of thinking, doing and being, in an extremely broad range of media—music, theatre, fine arts, and digital.
