Apply critical thinking and communication skills as you explore a diverse and changing world

Overview

The Department of Humanities and Communication helps students achieve proficiency in core skills such as communication, critical thinking, cultural literacy, creativity, and collaborative learning.

As an integral part of the general education program, courses in the Department of Humanities and Communication enable students to broaden and deepen their understanding of the highly diverse and rapidly changing society in which they live, including the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The department also offers a Communication major useful in a wide variety of professional contexts, as well as two communication-related and one Humanistic STEM minors.

The department's full-time faculty members are experts in composition, literature, communication, history, humanities, ethics, and world culture. Our faculty deliver courses in these areas to all students in all colleges of Embry‑Riddle Worldwide.

The department is developing an Artificial Intelligence and Digital Humanities focus area to investigate social, cultural and ethical questions surrounding artificial intelligence, as well as the practical utilization of artificial intelligence and digital tools at large in research, media creation, and other creative and professional contexts.
