Programs in the Department of Humanities attend to historic and present social circumstances and structures, and envision and communicate responses rooted in human dignity.

Foreign Language Study at the University College, Washington University in St. Louis

Fontbonne students may study foreign languages through a special arrangement with the University College of Washington University in St. Louis. Credits earned for foreign language through the University College count as home credit for Fontbonne students.
