WOU: Humanities Division

The Humanities Belong to Everyone
The Humanities are our cultural and intellectual heritage - the sum of human
experience, thought, and expression. They give us knowledge about the past,
insight about the present, and wisdom for the future.
They teach us about others and help us to know ourselves
