The Center is a hub for innovative and collaborative teaching and learning in history, philosophy, the arts, literature, religion, foreign languages, communication, culture, music, and more. Professors and students come together to study the past, assess the present, and imagine the future in terms of what makes us human, and what values and activities ensure our humanity and humaneness. Integrated Humanities represents the area of the curriculum where questions about making meaning are the center of our attention.  As such, the Center is essential to Chestnut Hill’s identity as a Liberal Arts College committed to areas of study distinct from professional and technical subjects.

The faculty of Integrated Humanities at Chestnut Hill College are committed to the belief that Humanities-based skills are not simply valuable in the workplace, although they clearly are, but that they are invaluable because they also—and more importantly—allow our students to live fuller, more meaningful lives by inviting them to use their education to build habits of heart and mind that will carry them through the novel problems they will encounter throughout their lives.  We endeavor to teach our students not how to be, but how to become in an unpredictable, uncertain world.
