Humanities at Mercy University

The Department of Humanities teaches students to deal critically and creatively with complex, imperfect information. Students work to understand others through the similarities and differences in languages, histories and cultures.  

Most importantly the department prepares you to ask and attempt to answer thorny questions and to form new insights about humanity as a whole.
