The development of a new Department of Ethics and Interfaith Studies and expand the Certificate in Integrated Humanities program, with the retention of three humanities positions

Doane University proposes to innovate within the Humanities departments and develop a new Department of Ethics and Interfaith Studies (EIS). This project will allow Doane to bridge the current gap in financial resources, retain key faculty positions within the humanities, and novelize this department to benefit faculty and students across the institution. In addition to preserving the range of humanities education for students by funding positions in interfaith studies and ethics, this project will support the expansion of current efforts to create innovative humanities pathways connected to non-humanities majors and pre-professional programs.
