Why study Humanities?
Study of the humanities is distinguished by an interest in the
human aspect of all knowledge. The humanities are therefore
broad in nature and a variety of individual programs can be
designed for students who want a non-vocational, liberal arts
background. The requirements listed on the reverse side of this
document are expected to meet the needs of most students;
other patterns may be developed with approval of the program
coordinator. In addition to the courses listed, individual study of
the classical languages, Greek and Latin, may be arranged.
