A Humanities major consists of 21 semester hours of humanities courses. Some are historical studies of American and European culture, while others focus on the relationship between culture and such areas as the arts, science, and the social sciences. In addition, majors take 12 hours of elective courses in international studies, religion, literature, film, and fine arts. These courses build a strong intellectual foundation, but also leave time for a career-related major or minor program and for electives. Students are urged to double-major to reinforce their work in a related discipline (e.g., humanities and English, art history, philosophy, or foreign languages), to place that work in a social context (humanities and history, psychology, or sociology), or to lend cultural meaning to the natural sciences (e.g., humanities and chemistry, physics, mathematics, or biology). Students planning to major in Humanities should meet the core curriculum requirements.
