The Heart of the Liberal Arts

Humanities at Wheaton College represents the heart of the liberal arts experience.

We offer the following undergraduate majors:

The Best of Human Thought

Your humanities learning experience, both in and out of the classroom, will reflect our conviction that God created us, and put into us the desire to read, to think, to discuss with others, and to grow intellectually and spiritually.

Your professors and fellow students honor these gifts by pursuing knowledge with humility, by teaching the best of human thought with enthusiasm and energy, and by always being careful stewards of the talents God has poured so generously upon us.

Prepared for the Future

As a graduate of the disciplines of this division, you will be thoroughly prepared for a variety of careers or further study in your chosen field.
