Our Objective
Our objective is to train our students for higher-level thinking skills and develop the ability to be a self-directed learner and researcher in the field of comparative study of the world civilizations, the global achievement of human beings.
Humanities Research Center
The Humanities Research Center supports intellectual investigations and explorations of all facets of human creative endeavor. Currently, the Humanities Research Center is actively involved in research in the Humanities. HRC emphasizes the comparative analysis of world civilizations in different regions and historical periods.
We believe that the study of the humanities possesses unique and remarkable powers to reveal underlying structures of knowledge. We are focused on the intersections of difference, and we seek to understand what constitutes the nature of our understanding of how people attempt to communicate essential human experiences.
