Introduction
It is the purpose of the College of Liberal Arts, as a center of
learning and scholarship, to help students achieve an understanding of
the heritage of civilization and to educate them in the tradition of
the past and realities of the present so they may recognize and act
upon their obligations to the future.
The college seeks to meet the educational needs of
each student through the development of interests and skills, which,
combined with the individual’s potential, make possible a richer, more
useful life.

Center for the Humanities
www.unh.edu/humanities-center
The Center for the Humanities, located in Huddleston Hall, was
established in 1986 to support the arts and humanities at UNH. It
currently involves approximately twelve departments and more than 125
faculty members from across the University, representing such fields as
literature, fine arts, anthropology, philosophy, folklore, history,
religious studies, foreign languages, and literature. The Center for
New England Culture is a unit of the Humanities Center.
Participation in the activities of the center is open to faculty
members from across the University who are interested in the humanities
as they are broadly defined. The center acts as a forum for discussion
and intellectual cross-fertilization regarding humanistic issues and
perspectives; it fosters and supports creative research in the
humanities, both within and among disciplines; it assists humanities
faculty in their educational and curricular activities in general, and
in the development of interdisciplinary courses and programs in
particular; it serves the humanities faculty, students, programs, and
community by assisting in the development and dissemination of
educational and research materials; it fosters and develops outreach
activities in the humanities for the state and region; and it is a
focus for the humanities within the University, the state, and the
region.
