The humanities deal with what is distinctively human: with the contributions of human beings to advances in artistic or literary expression and philosophical thought, the use and study of language and the application of values to all human enterprises. Humanities also are concerned with advances in science, engineering, math, psychology and other disciplines and professions when those advances are understood as part of our culture.

The humanities major enables student sot construct a plausible, creative program less determined by traditional disciplines than by logical connections. While the program is rooted in the humanities, students may choose their course of study from a number of non-humanities classes. The goals of this major are to provide a student with skills for future study and/or employment, encourage cultural and multicultural understanding, and promoting a critical and creative habit of mind.
