Major Academic Plan (MAP) 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. Learning Goals Distinguish basic forms and strategies of philosophy, literature and at least one of the arts and of the social sciences Recognize significant steps in the development of Western Civilization, not only how values have developed internally, but also the ways in which new values have entered the culture from other civilizations Write clear and effective English in a variety of rhetorical contexts Learn how useful interpretations arise from differing experiences and information, especially from those who are different in age, abilities, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation Learn the values of intellectual honesty, personal responsibility and the habits of active rather than passive learning Program Coordinator Dr. Grant Smith 229I Patterson Hall Cheney, WA Department Chair Dr. Logan Greene 203 Patterson Hall Cheney, WA Department Assistant Diane Weber 203 Patterson Hall Cheney, WA Sample Careers Writer and editor Journalist Educator Communications Specialist Public Relations Specialist Political organizer Advertising Specialist Associate in Arts BA in Humanities (64 credits) English Department College of Arts, Letters, and Education
