The Humanities program examines the ideas, values and creative works of earlier cultures and their later influence, through multiple disciplines of the humanities, such as literature, history, art, philosophy, religion and mythology. If you have a broad interest in the liberal arts, then the Humanities major may be for you!<\/p>\n

You will examine the culture, ideas and values of earlier cultures both in their original time periods and as they were borrowed and transformed by later ages. Learn how the classical past has been used as an ideal by modern cultures \u2013 including American culture \u2013 and how western culture has developed its own particular views about itself as being distinctly different from non-western cultures. You may find yourself looking at history, cultures and the status quo in new ways!<\/p>\n
