Humanities and Fine Arts

The humanities and fine arts at Pomona educate many students who become successful musicians, artists, writers, translators, teachers, scholars, doctors, lawyers, business people, and professionals of all kinds. The disciplines within the humanities and fine arts strike a balance between learning to appreciate and assess the work of others and learning to create one's own work.

Pomona students concentrate on primary texts. Not only do they read what Plato, Mozart, Michelangelo, Austen, Carlyle, Churchill, or Descartes have written, they study their art, listen to their music, and learn to make critical judgments.

A student whose primary interest is in creating receives intensive training from professors who are, themselves, performing musicians, exhibiting artists, and published writers. Students interested in performance and studio classes take courses in the academic components of their disciplines, ensuring breadth of knowledge as well as technical proficiency.
