On-line Catalog: Humanities Center Undergraduate Courses (.pdf file)
The Humanities Center's activities for
undergraduates address two different needs. For students interested in a
general liberal arts preparation or in one of the University's preprofessional programs, the center provides a broad
introduction to the documents and thought of Western culture. For students
interested in pursuing their interests in graduate school, the center
offers a fundamental preparation geared to the individual's specific
talents that can be the basis for more specialized humanistic study at the
graduate level. In either case, the center stresses skill in critical
reading and writing, sophistication in the use of research tools, and
opportunities for supervised independent study. The coherence of each individual?s program depends
upon careful consultation with the faculty adviser.
The Humanities Center does not offer a departmental
major. Students who wish to concentrate on the courses that it offers
should consider the area major in Humanistic Studies or a major in another
humanities department.
