Humanities
Humanities offers students a wide perspective on topics in a variety of humanistic disciplines, which usually include fine and performing arts, languages, literature, history, philosophy, and religion.
Studying the humanities encourages a better understanding of others and helps individuals think critically when given complex and often subjective information.
One-half of the total credit hours required in the Humanities major must be taken at the College. In addition, students must receive a final grade of “C” or better in all required courses within the Humanities major.
Courses applied toward this major cannot be applied to Woods Core requirements.
