BYU-Idaho’s Department of Humanities & Philosophy helps students gain a greater understanding of cultural and intellectual connections across multiple academic disciplines. Faculty members actively engage with students by helping them acquire meaningful skills that educate the entire person, making them adaptable, thoughtful, and productive employees and citizens.

For many centuries the liberal arts have proven their value in preparing people for successful living and working. Our curriculum is designed for students who want a broad liberal education and an excellent preparation for professional schools such as law or medicine, graduate programs in the humanities and other liberal arts, and life as parents, citizens, and disciples.
