Course Summary

Humanities is about learning how history has shaped our diverse world and how students can contribute to their local, national and global community. It also teaches students about human and environmental issues and how they correlate with one another, and how they can be financially smart, and if they want to, one day operate their very own business. Studying Humanities enables students to develop knowledge in these areas and more.
