Arts and Humanities
The Arts and Humanities are at the heart of a liberal arts education, providing the foundation for critical inquiry, creativity, and an understanding of human culture.
The Arts and Humanities Division at NYU Abu Dhabi is dedicated to the exploration of human creativity, culture, and thought. Through disciplines such as literature, history, philosophy, visual and performing arts, languages, and cultural studies, this division fosters critical thinking, artistic expression, and an understanding of diverse perspectives. By engaging with the past and present, students and scholars within the Arts and Humanities division develop the ability to interpret, create, and communicate ideas that shape the human experience.
