The broad course of study brings together art history, history, literature, art and/or music, philosophy, and foreign language to help the student examine the fundamental questions that shape humanity, such as: What constitutes a life worth living? What responsibilities do we have to self, family, and society? How have different cultures throughout different eras tackled significant social and environmental issues? How do different cultures conceive of humanity and how do such conceptions shape the worlds we create? Humanities and Cultural Studies majors acquire the ability to relate to multiple worldviews and diverse cultural experiences.
