Who are we? The Faculty of Humanities comprises over 100 full- and part-time faculty researching and teaching in nine departments. Over 3,000 undergraduate, Masters and PhD students from across Canada and around the world are enrolled in our programs. They join the many thousands who have graduated from humanities programs at McMaster since its establishment in 1887.

An institution’s declared vision is a good indicator of its deepest values and strongest aspirations. The vision of our Faculty is centered on excellence in research, innovation and teaching. Of course, visions are nothing without achievements. McMaster Humanities’ achievements are everywhere: from research projects and innovative teaching of our faculty to the intellectual and social engagement of our students at McMaster and in the wider world.
