Humanities

Humanities are at the heart of how we think

When you study in the humanities division at St. Norbert College, you get right to the heart of how we think about ourselves, each other and the world. Students pursuing a humanities degree hone time-honored skills like effective communication, critical and creative thinking, cultural understanding and curiosity — which can be leveraged as a leader and decision-maker in any field.
