Top 5 universities for arts and humanities degrees
1. Stanford University
When the university was established, the Stanford family said that their aim was to educate “cultured and useful citizens” and the university still counts its humanities courses as the “soul” of a Stanford education.

Stanford is based next to Palo Alto, known as Silicon Valley for its density of high-tech and start-up companies. The spirit of entrepreneurship in the area was encouraged by the university itself in the early 20th century, and many Stanford students and graduates are involved at the highest levels with the world’s most influential technology companies.
Many of the students live in campus residences, near the university’s many faculty buildings, museums and recreation spaces.
