School of Humanities

Illuminating Ideas, Inspiring Change

At Susquehanna University’s School of Humanities, students embark on a journey to explore the human experience — its cultures, histories, languages and ideas — and use their knowledge to shape the world. Whether crafting compelling narratives, analyzing philosophical debates, or uncovering historical truths, they engage deeply with the art of communication and the power of critical thinking.

From poetry slams to press releases, the art of persuasion to the science of linguistics, our students refine their voices, sharpen their analytical skills and expand their global perspectives. With the mentorship of dedicated faculty and a community of engaged peers, they tackle society’s biggest questions and prepare to lead, inform and inspire in a rapidly changing world.
