School of Humanities
Ideas, Culture, and Meaning
The humanities invite you to ask meaningful questions, understand perspectives different from your own and explore the ideas that shape our world. At Viterbo, you’ll develop the ability to communicate clearly, think critically, solve problems creatively and engage thoughtfully with people and communities.
Whether you’re drawn to language, art, culture, ethics or the study of society, you’ll learn from faculty who know you by name and encourage you to put your ideas into practice through research, creative work and meaningful experiences.
English, Spanish, and World Languages
The department of English, Spanish, and world languages at Viterbo University helps students develop strong communication, critical thinking, writing, research, and cultural skills while preparing them for careers in a diverse, global society.
Ethics, Culture, and Society
Viterbo’s ethics, culture, and society programs combine coursework from art, history, philosophy, creative studies, or general studies to create a degree that is driven by personal choice. With a focus on collaborative problem-solving for the common good, students have the ability to apply learning to real-world issues in the La Crosse community and beyond.
