The Humanities major provides an in-depth analysis of cultural traditions, intellectual concepts, and value systems across civilizations, both Western and non-Western, studying their original contexts and subsequent interpretations through history. The program particularly fosters an understanding of how classical heritage has been adopted as cultural symbols by modern societies, including America, and how Western civilization has defined itself in contrast to other cultures.
This major is ideal for students with wide-ranging interests in liberal arts, whether for personal enrichment or as foundational preparation for professional careers. The Humanities curriculum stands out by enabling students to choose courses across various disciplines (including history, literature, philosophy, religious studies, art history, and music history).
