Humanities and Cultural Studies (BA)
About the Program
The humanities and cultural studies major offers students the opportunity to study the meaning of the human condition through interdisciplinary 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 is truth and beauty? What are the limits of science and technology? How do we live a responsible life? What makes us more fully human? Competence in critical analysis, written and spoken discourse and a love of learning are hallmarks of a student completing this major.
The major has a practical outcome: to examine what is most valued in life and make appropriate decisions for one's future. The curriculum has special features to enhance success in the workplace and civic life. Internships or work-related projects are integral to course work. Evaluation of career choices is part and parcel of the student's curriculum and the formal advising process. Graduates in humanities and cultural studies are prepared for graduate school and choose or maintain careers that include law, public service, non-profit management, arts administration, journalism, ministry, teaching, and business.
