Interdisciplinary Humanities: Ancient and Modern offers students a global liberal arts education through cross-cultural and historical exploration of the Humanities.
Spanning diverse regions, themes, and time periods in the study of ideas, literature, language, art, religion, and archaeology, this program highlights connections between ancient and contemporary perspectives. It emphasizes rigorous development of critical abilities—including analytical reading, writing, logical reasoning, and interpretation across literary, artistic, and historical contexts—making it ideal preparation for careers in journalism, law, education, diplomacy, and other liberal professions. STEM students can also enrich their technical studies by minoring in this humanistic discipline.
At its core, the humanities foster personal and communal growth through engagement with literature, philosophy, history, language, and the arts. Interdisciplinary Humanities integrates faculty expertise from Classics, English, Philosophy, World Languages, Sociology-Anthropology, Afro-American Studies, History, and related fields to examine human culture from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome to Modernism and Afro-Modernity. Though sometimes undervalued today, while science and technology enhance living standards, the humanities give life its deeper meaning.
