MyHCHC
Welcome to a program where profound intellectual inquiry meets spiritual purpose. Our Humanities program blends a rigorous foundation in the liberal arts with deeply integrated theological study.
Whether you are a first-year student looking for a traditional four-year campus experience or a transfer student wanting to complete your bachelor’s degree quickly, you will join a vibrant academic community where timeless texts are studied alongside world-class faculty.
Best for: Incoming first-year students.
Move from antiquity to the modern era through a structured sequence of courses, then declare an area of concentration in your junior year: Classics, History, or Literature.
Credit load: 15 to 16.5 credits per semester for the first three years, finishing with a focused 12-credit semester during the thesis defense.
Best for: Transfer students entering with 60 or more credits.
Accelerate your higher education without sacrificing depth through a tailored pathway that condenses core humanities exploration, vocational literature, and theological analysis.
Credit load: A steady, predictable 15 credits per semester across four powerful terms.
You will thrive here if you are an avid reader, writer, and thinker; a purpose-driven student searching for your true calling; or a spiritually grounded student seeking an education that honors and deepens your faith.
Explore ancient Greek society, hero mythologies, timeless drama, and the dynamics of the Mediterranean.

Unlike standard liberal arts programs where spiritual life can feel separate from academics, this curriculum features built-in theology and philosophy requirements across both pathways.
Your education extends beyond the classroom walls. Interdisciplinary courses use the Boston area as a living laboratory through arts, culture, civic engagement, and service immersion.
Students on the 4-year track participate in a specialized 6-credit summer language block between freshman and sophomore year.
Discover world-class exhibits and performances through courses focused on Boston concert halls, museums, art, and architecture.
Partner with local organizations and connect ancient wisdom with modern civic action through community engagement.
Yes. The 2-year degree completion track is optimized for transfer students entering with 60 or more credits, allowing students to complete the bachelor’s degree in exactly four semesters.
Students on the traditional 4-year concentration track complete a year-long Thesis Seminar sequence. On the 2-year track, a thesis is an honors privilege for transfer students who meet the GPA requirement and receive approval.
Theology is integrated into both pathways through courses such as Introduction to Orthodoxy, Discovering Christ in the Scriptures, Doctrine and Devotion: The Mother of God, and Christian Philosophy: East and West.
If transfer students still need required general education benchmarks, they will take those required courses in place of listed general electives.
On both pathways, additional electives may be taken as needed to reach the institutional credit minimum required for graduation.
