Meet Our Students
Our students come from all over the world and have many different backgrounds. When they graduate, they’ll take many different paths. One thing they have in common? They’re all part of our Humanities community — and they’re looking forward to saying a big “Welc-HUM” to you.
A day in the life
If you’re curious about how you’ll spend your time in a Humanities program, our students can help — they’ve got tips and tricks to get you through your first year and beyond.
