Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative Literature
Civilizations have been growing up throughout the world since before time. As they grew society began to develop rules and divide work to become more sophisticated. With these advancements came the increase in non essential parts of society, the humanities. These are the things that societies leave to their posterity. It is left for us to interpret them. Paintings, sculpture, dance, the classics… we all have trouble understanding what was left by the past or even those things that are created today. We frequently cannot see how to connect the dots. We all sat in classes and we told to interpret a poem, painting, or novel. You sat and wondered how you were supposed to do that when no one ever showed you how. It was a foreign language to you. They are part of a discussion that you could not enter without a teacher. The Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative Literature has the classes you need to understand. They allow you to see through new eyes as you open your books and read, walk through a gallery, or sit through a performance.
