The School of Humanities is one of the nine schools that make up Ateneo de Manila University's Higher Education cluster. It houses the seven departments and one program offering courses on both the undergraduate and graduate levels in various branches of the arts and humanities, as well as minor programs for students of the Loyola Schools.
Aside from offering degree programs, it provides half of the courses in the college core curriculum. These courses, in the languages, literature, art, philosophy, and theology, form the basis of the liberal education that Ateneo de Manila University gives to all its undergraduates, the end of which is the formation of “men and women for others.”
Under its departments are research, teaching, writing, or training centers, which offer services to external publics.
The School also publishes four academic journals, including Katipunan, the only Filipino-language journal in Ateneo devoted to Filipino as a discipline.
Vision and Mission
Vision
We are a community of educators, scholars, and artists, who are engaged in the critical interpretation and imaginative expression of human experiences. Through these practices, we resist the devaluation of the humanities, affirm the creative human spirit, and commit to a more just and compassionate society.
Mission
Our mission is to instill in our students a love of critical learning, an appreciation of our shared humanity, and a desire for ethical stewardship as foundations of discerned social action in the Philippines and the world. We strive for excellence in our teaching, scholarship, and artistic work, and we aim to promote the arts and humanities as vital resources for social transformation.
