Mission Statement: Garden City Community College exists to produce positive contributors to the economic and social well-being of society.

The Humanities and Fine Arts involve those fundamental courses which help develop a greater understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of the humanistic resources available in our culture. Even though an individual may not have decided on a field of concentration, it is possible after two years of study in liberal arts to enter any field in the humanities.

The Division is made up of the following departments: Art, English-Literature, English as a Second Language, History, Literature, Media-Communications, Reading, Drama-Theatre, and Music.

Located in the Pauline Joyce Fine Arts Building the division offers an extensive quantity of course offerings.
