Division of Humanities Mission Statement
The Division of Humanities at Quincy University, in the spirit of the university's Franciscan mission, respects all its students as individuals. The Division provides courses to students in both the general education program and in its major fields of study, Theology and Philosophy, and English. The Division also offers students the opportunity to begin or to continue their study of languages, including Spanish, French, German, Greek, and Latin.
In support of the University's commitment to liberal arts education, the Division promotes the study of the foundational texts of human civilization, religious, philosophical, and literary. By means of this textual emphasis, the Division seeks to encourage students to develop the skills and habits of reading and interpretation, critical thinking, research, written and oral fluency, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
We believe that the study of our cultural histories by means of literary, theological, and philosophical texts prepares our students to be thoughtful citizens of a multi-cultural world in which our various traditions are honored and our differences respected. The Division prepares its majors to be scholars, teachers, pastoral ministers, and caring and committed professionals in various fields.
