program description

the humanities program offers students understanding of cultural experience through interdisciplinary study of the humanities. undergraduate and graduate students study creative practices, cultural values, and insights of diverse human communities, past and present. humanities majors explore methods of bringing the various humanities, such as literature, music, visual forms, and architecture, into an integrative view of the world's cultural diversity.

with this integrative approach to american and world cultures, the humanities major provides an excellent foundation for jobs in government, business, law, education, and the arts. practical training in a specific professional field (tesol, journalism, museum work, etc.) may well be taken in conjunction with the major or the minor in humanities. the bachelor of arts in humanities program is also good preparation for entering a k–12 single subject or multiple subject teaching credential programs.
