What are the Humanities?

The Humanities explore a broad range of subjects—including art, architecture, history, music, dance, languages,literature, philosophy, ethics, and religion. Students who se-lect Humanities as a major study the achievements of hu-man thought and creativity; they work within a variety ofdisciplines in order to acquire a deeper understanding ofthemselves, their civilization, and the world.

What courses are offered?

There are three components to the Humanities curriculum:foreign language study, core requirements, and electives.Foreign language study involves two semesters of intermedi-ate course work. Core requirements include HUMN 220,HUMN 221, and HUMN 222 which survey the artistic and in-tellectual legacy of Western Civilization and representativeworld civilizations (including India, China, Mesoamerica, Af-rica, and the Middle East). In the senior year, students enrollin the Senior Seminar, which explores a focused concern ina Humanities discipline. In addition, students are required towrite a senior thesis or undertake a senior project on a fo-cused topic chosen in consultation with their major advisor.Elective courses focus on key moments and developments inWestern and world culture.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the manystudy-abroad opportunities offered by the university. Inaddition to exceptional programs in London, Florenceand Ghana, students can pursue their major at universi-ties in approximately 15 other locations around theworld, including Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.Each year several students in the Humanities Programtake advantage of this exceptional experience.

The Humanities Minor

A minor in Humanities provides an abbreviated version ofthe major, with four core courses and four electives. It isan excellent choice for students seeking a well-roundededucation or a complement to their major field of study.

Additional minors are offered in Cinema Studies, ClassicalCivilization, Medieval Studies, and Renaissance Studies.

This year-longcollaboration allows you to work in your field at a professional level andculminates in a public presentation of your work.
