History, Humanities, Philosophy

Mission Statement


The Riverside City College Department of History, Philosophy, Humanities, and Ethnic Studies offers students rigorous instruction in humanist studies, leading to a critically informed understanding of our traditions; and nurturing personal growth and reflection. Our department recognizes the central role the humanities plays in any general course of study, providing the skills to think critically, evaluate original source material, and communicate clearly and effectively. Learning about history, culture, and ideas provides students with the contexts needed to make informed and successful decisions, tells us who we are as a people, and builds the personal sensitivity and public awareness that contribute to great individuals and responsible citizens.
