WHY HUMANITIES?
The UCI School of Humanities is where future leaders, communicators, scholars, CEOs, storytellers, creatives, directors, writers, and entrepreneurs come to get their start.
Humanities courses will challenge your thinking and prepare you for some of the world’s most coveted professional positions. But why not also have some fun while learning about what you love? Join us to explore topics ranging from ancient myths and medieval monsters to the history of medicine, the thoughts of existentialist philosophers, the impact of social media, the international cultures of food, and the global influence of hip-hop.
Our students discover in the School of Humanities a wide world of new experiences, in language and culture courses including Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Russian, Spanish and more.
Studying the humanities will enrich your understanding of the human world by introducing you to, and sparking in you, ideas that matter. It will empower your creativity and your ability to innovate. And it will equip you with priceless tools to shape your own unique future.
