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.
