The study of the humanities involves a broad range of knowledge related to human thought and culture. At Lindsey Wilson College, the minor in humanities provides a well-rounded perspective of the human experience through the close study of art, literature, history, music, folklore, and communication.

The humanities curriculum challenges students to develop a better understanding of the human condition through critical reading, writing, and thinking. Within the interdisciplinary approach, students are challenged with questions surrounding aesthetic, intellectual, and moral ideas of the past and present.

Almost all employers value employees who have problem-solving skills. A humanities background is valued in professions that require a broad range of knowledge, critical thinking, and excellent communication skills. Students who study the humanities can enhance their career aspirations in areas such as communication, arts administration, non-profit management, religion, law, education, and journalism.
