Humanities

Humanities courses (those with a HUM designation) focus on a blend of topics in art, literature, philosophy, history, religion, music, theatre, film, and architecture. Segments include 1) The Classical, 2) The Medieval and Renaissance, and 3) The Modern. These courses prepare students for success on the world stage by exploring the diversity and the influences of these historical moments on the values of the western world and especially of modern Americans.
