The Humanities department at SUNY Cobleskill strongly believes in the right to intellectual freedom for ourselves and our students. Our mission, therefore, is to provide students with the literacy skills and cultural awareness necessary to become self-determining and knowledgable members of society.
We also suspect that Humanities and Technology are not separate worlds but mutually enhancing apsects of the human experience. To that end we have developed consciously diverse course offerings, innovative interdisciplinary programs, and opportunities to encorporate computer literacy into one's studies.
