Overview

About this Degree

As a Humanities major at Villanova University, you will take our four Gateway courses—God, World, Society, and Human Person—that ask the fundamental questions that all humans have to ask: What does it mean to be a human being? How do I relate to my family, my friends, society, politics? Is there a God and what difference does it make if there is? What is my relationship to the natural world and how do I care for it?

Key Facts

As you move through the major, you will take elective courses that draw upon these questions with greater discipline specificity. Fiction, verse, art and architecture, philosophy, theology, politics, economics, and history provide worlds of wisdom for students and faculty to explore together.

Our curriculum allows you to shape the major according to your interests. You will crown your Humanities experience with our signature Senior Symposium in your last semester at Villanova, where you’ll write an integrating senior essay on a topic you choose in consultation with your advisor for a deep immersion in your driving intellectual loves.
