The Department is also home to the Humanities Honors Program, which offers both lower and upper-division Humanities Honors GE course sequences.

San Jose State University is a teaching-centered institution that is a national leader in graduating historically underserved students.

SJSU has achieved both HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution) and AANAPISI (Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution) status.

Moreover, 40% of our student population are first-generation college students, and 38% are Pell-qualified. As a result, we are ranked #1 as the most transformational university in the country.

A General Note about Our Curriculum : In all of our programs, we seek to understand the profound questions about what it means to be human while contextualizing those questions in time, place, and culture, as well as within institutions of education.

We explore questions about conflict, injustice, inequality, as well as questions of beauty, meaning, and creative expression.

We push the boundaries of humanistic studies into environmental humanities and digital humanities. Liberal Studies Teacher Preparation majors base their training to become teachers of K-8 grade students upon a foundation in critical humanistic study.
