The study of humanities is an investigation of human institutions and artistic achievement, the values embodied in those institutions and works, and the range of esthetic and philosophic response to the human condition. The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities program gives a student experience with literature, philosophic writings, the history of human culture, and the performing and visual arts, as well as a framework for critical consideration of cultural values and their expression in institutions, literature and the fine arts. Because this is an interdisciplinary degree, no more than 18 hours of upper-level work in a single discipline may be applied to the major, and no more than 27 total hours in a single discipline (excluding course work required to fulfill Common Core Requirements) may be used to satisfy degree requirements.
