The Department of Humanities provides students with an enlarged perception of and appreciation for their cultural heritage. This is accomplished through the study of communication and research skills, foreign language, literature, the arts, and philosophy. By introducing students to these academic disciplines, the Department seeks their intellectual maturity and increased usefulness to God and mankind.

English placement for entering students is determined by evaluation of scores on SAT and ACT tests. Students with high scores are permitted to replace ENG 101 English Composition with ENG 321 Advanced Composition. Students with low scores are tested further to determine whether or not they should take the course, ENG 021 Introduction to College Reading and Writing.

Students for whom English is not the primary spoken language must demonstrate their ability to communicate in English. In addition to the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) prior to acceptance, these students may be asked to submit a current sample of their writing.
