Area of Study

The Humanities are devoted to the study of human values and the spirit of humanity. The Humanities program has three major objectives: To provide a multiple frame of reference for the analysis and interpretation of the sources and evolution of the humanities; to foster increased awareness of the unique values inherent in each of the humanistic disciplines, while acquainting the student with the interrelationships among art, music, philosophy, language, literature, and history; to establish, through the cultivation of curiosity and multicultural understanding, the breadth of background necessary for successful careers in government, business, or the professions.

Note: Students who major in Humanities should consider completing a second major. The breadth of the Humanities major and the focus on ideas that have shaped civilization is well complemented by specialized study outside the Humanities. Such a double major improves students' professional preparedness and may increase career and graduate study options.
