arts and humanities
Culture and expression
Arts and humanities is an academic category encompassing disciplines that study human culture, expression, and thought rather than natural phenomena or quantitative methods.
The arts portion includes visual arts, music, theater, and creative writing, while humanities covers philosophy, literature, history, languages, and religious studies.
Universities typically group these fields together in a college or division, distinguishing them from sciences and social sciences.
