I joined Habib University with Pre-Engineering background and had no knowledge about Comparative Humanities. The only thing I had was my passion to dive into this field. Habib University’s culture gave me the flexibility and assurance to pursue my field. I took help from peers, asked my faculty, and utilized resources to make my place. Habib is inclusive for all educational backgrounds, intellect, and experiences to pursue this field.
Comparative Humanities is a field for humans. It doesn’t cover the biological, technical, or modernized version of human needs, but it covers the human history dwelling between the visible and invisible realms. Our field focuses on history lived, literature written, philosophy interpreted and religions followed by humans in one subject. It concentrates mainly on the nuances of storytelling analyzed by the skill of critical thinking, giving us a platform to think beyond the bubble of colonized mindsets.
An Intellectual Support System Never Seen Before
Habib University’s culture makes this field riveting as it provides the freedom to think, confidence to question, and ears to listen to the unheard voices inside human beings. The world-class faculty and diverse student body at Habib University make an ideal environment for studying BA in Humanities.

Comparative Humanities at Habib University gives a perfect curriculum to learn. The courses, workload management, and discussions are no less than any other foreign university. Habib University has writing centers, a research office, and career services which help us broaden our horizon of learning and puts us in front of many career opportunities. Recently, I did research on Religious Studies in the summer with a faculty, and also participated in Rustigi Conference at the University of Buffalo where I presented my Research Paper.

On January 8, 2019, the Yohsin Hall, a sanctum of learning located inside the Habib University library was named after the late Dawood Habib to give a tribute to his endless contribution towards higher education.
Yohsin encompasses five major paradigms: striving for Excellence; appreciating Aesthetics (beauty); nurturing Passion; Respecting others, and Serving the communities in which we reside. The philosophy of Habib University revolves around these values, which gives us a platform to embrace arts and aesthetics in everything. We learn the truth behind “husn” of a person in learning philosophy, literature, history, religion, and music that nourishes our soul and makes it fertile.
