The humanities major lets you assemble an array of courses of your own choice, forming an interdisciplinary path of study that focuses on your special field of interest. After choosing from lower-level courses in foundational fields and practicing interdisciplinary learning, you choose upper-level courses from across the university, tying them together in ways that fit your pattern of interest. For instance, you might be interested in the activist movements of the 1960s, and choose courses in literature, history, political science, sociology, and film and music of the '60s. Or you might be interested in the big questions such as "Why are we here?", and choose courses in philosophy, religious studies, psychology, and literature. The sky's the limit!
Advisors will help you choose courses that speak to your interests and that integrate well with each other. The end of the major offers a chance to think through your selection and analyze common themes.
