Humanities

What is SPC Humanities?

The discipline of Humanities is geared to guide students on how to explore and examine the lives and cultural values of various people, cultures, and civilizations throughout the history of the world. Humanities bring together several various disciplines and themes such as history, art, music, theatre, film, literature, philosophy, aesthetic analyses, minority, and gender studies, culinary arts, religious perspectives, economic and social realities, and architectural concerns. This interdisciplinary approach allows students to have a multi-perspective understanding of the worldwide historical influence of the arts on human societies and culture. The student should emerge with a well-formed sense of prevailing human values in history as well as a sound basis for the information and evolution of her/his own individual values and those of society. Humanities prepare students for transfer to any Baccalaureate program while gaining important insight about culture and its relevance within any career path.
