| Description | The humanities are about people, culture, and ideas. The B.A. in Humanities will ensure that you are initiated into the rich cultural legacy we share as human beings. Since the B.A. in Humanities is interdisciplinary and multicultural, you will not only learn about your place in this heritage but how you can relate to others who may not share it. Briercrest College’s B.A. in Humanities offers a significant biblical and theological basis from which to engage this legacy as well as an opportunity to minor in a classic humanities discipline, including philosophy, history, English literature, and psychology. Instructors have good reasons to believe that if you thrive in this program you will indirectly develop competencies that will enable you to live well and succeed in your profession, whatever that might be. You will develop skills that will enable you to communicate clearly, think precisely and imaginatively, learn continuously, adapt easily, and work productively with others. We believe that if you learn to love what is good and pursue it wholeheartedly, you will, by God’s grace, find yourself with characteristics, motivations, and ways of living that enable you to serve well in our society and in our Lord’s kingdom. |
