Pathways Program

The Pathways Humanities and Cultural Studies major offers adult learners the opportunity to study the meaning of the human condition through interdisciplinary and multi-discipline course work. The course of study brings together such disciplines as art, art history, history, literature, music, philosophy, and religion to help the student examine the fundamental questions that have shaped the human community, such as: What are truth and beauty? What are the limits of science and technology? How do we live a responsible life? What makes us more fully human?

This program requires a concentration in a particular area (options listed below), allowing for depth of study and better preparation for a postgraduate degree. Competence in critical analysis, written and spoken discourse, character formation and a love of learning are hallmarks of a student completing this major.
