Here. Emmanuel’s campus is buzzing with the exchange of ideas. In addition to faculty sharing their latest research, the School of Humanities & Social Sciences welcomes scholars and practitioners to campus to share their expertise on current issues such as addiction, Black history in American art, behavioral economics, the future of the Constitution, poverty in the U.S., privilege systems, and the media’s impact on social justice. Students begin to chart their professional interests through in-depth research projects alongside faculty or to receive Distinction in the Field of Study upon graduation. Students have presented on the role of therapeutic art-based activities on cancer patients, the parasocial relationship between social media audiences and influencers, healthcare in war-torn areas, the lasting effects of the Indian Removal Act, the social stigma of PTSD in the military and more.

There. Everywhere. Through study abroad, Emmanuel students benefit from authentic interactions, experiences and personal connections with the cultures and people of other countries. They gain firsthand knowledge of what life is like in other areas of the world and expand their understanding of our increasingly global society. Students in the School of Humanities & Social Sciences may choose to study abroad for a summer, semester or academic year through more than 500 programs in 65+ countries. We also offer exchange programs for art majors to study at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany, and for Communications & Media Studies majors to study at Jönköping University in Sweden. For students looking to enhance their oncampus experience with a global component, the School of Humanities & Social Sciences offers a number of faculty-led travel courses. Why not consider spending spring break in Ireland, summer in Greece, or a few weeks serving others through our service-learning course in South Africa?
