Humanities & Bilingual Studies
The Humanities & Bilingual Sciences Division encompasses art, cinema, communications, dance, drama, English composition, English literature, history, music, new media technology, philosophy, speech, and world languages.
It offers numerous A.A. and A.S. degree programs transferable to four-year institutions, and A.A.S. and certificate programs in preparation for immediate employment upon graduation.
The Division is responsible for general education courses in art, English, history, music, and world languages required by various degree programs. It also handles developmental courses in reading and writing – including English as a Second Language (ESL) courses – to assist students who are not yet fully prepared for college-level courses.
To supplement the classroom experience, the Humanities and Bilingual Studies faculty develop and support various cultural events and organizations to promote positive cultural awareness among students and the bilingual communities of Essex County.
