...have been central to the meaning of a liberal arts education. These disciplines investigate important questions about the nature of human beings and their cultures, and examine diverse views concerning the meaning and direction of life.

Humanities faculty and staff are pleased to provide UMM students and community members with co-curricular activities and events including a professional art gallery, student art exhibitions, poetry readings, film screenings, a local printing press, theatrical productions (many directed by students), student clubs, musical ensembles, our distinguished Philosophy Colloquium and Jazz Fest, and annual theater trips to New York or London.

Humanities students participate regularly in undergraduate research and creative activity, presenting at UMM's acclaimed Undergraduate Research Symposium or attending national academic conferences.
