Humanities

The Humanities curriculum is designed to be the center of the College’s General Education program and of liberal education in this College. The courses which fulfill the Humanities requirement approach the subject of moral and political values using the methods of the three Humanities disciplines: literature, history, and philosophy. The goal of these courses is to acquaint our students with the major Western value systems by examining the basic readings from philosophical and literary points of view, and in a historical context. Although the courses are taught primarily by faculty of the Humanities Academic Area, other faculty members teach in this interdisciplinary program as their schedules permit.
