The Humanities Minor seeks to provide a base for students to construct a better understanding of the spirit and meaning of civilization. It draws upon other departments within the university and attempts to show the interdependence of the various humanities disciplines. By the consideration of the vast storehouse of historical, philosophical, religious, and artistic expressions, students are better able to identify themes, ideas, and values that inform diverse areas of artistic and cultural production, ethical and political life, and individual senses of meaning. It is designed for the student desiring a broad background in the humanistic disciplines, and it should be of special interest to students planning to enter such professions as education, ministry, law, politics, health care fields, or academics.
Humanities Minor: 18 credits
The Humanities Minor requires 18 credits, nine (9) of which must be upper division (3000 level or above).
