Get Connected
Students in the Department of Humanities and Creative Arts explore and engage with the world’s rich and diverse cultural heritage. Disciplines represented include Studio Art, Art History, Classics, History, Media and Culture, Music, Philosophy, Religion, and Theatre. In each of these disciplines we examine the ways in which the human experience has been documented, enabling students to understand contemporary events in cultural and global contexts and to explore issues that require broader perspectives. You also will gain skills in problem solving, while honing proficiencies in visual, written, and oral communication. Our dynamic, student-centered department strives for collaboration and creative interactions across disciplines, contributing to the principles of a Liberal Arts education.
With a major in the Department of Humanities and Creative Arts, students will improve their ability to think critically, express themselves creatively, and communicate effectively in preparation for such careers as researchers, artists, educators, writers, performers, analysts, entrepreneurs, administrators, etc. Each discipline is closely connected to their departments on the Oxford campus.
