BA Humanities

When you study the humanities, you study what it means to be human—how God has made people unique, complex and beautiful.

Throughout the humanities program at BJU you’ll learn how certain qualities, such as creativity, the desire for meaning and the need to worship, are hardwired into all people. You’ll explore how people throughout the ages have defined truth and the purpose of life, and how their ideas and actions have shaped the world into what it is today.

You’ll study a wide range of subjects—English, philosophy, foreign language, history, mathematics, science, art, music, speech and others—and learn to see big-picture truths as you understand how seemingly isolated subject areas relate to one another. And more importantly, you’ll view each subject through the lens of God’s Word and learn how to make sense of the world in light of His truth.
