人文科学学士

人文学科采取跨学科的方法来研究文化，重点是语言，文学，视觉艺术，媒体，哲学，历史以及社会，政治，经济和精神机构。人文学科不是试图建立客观真理，而是要考虑美学趋势，意识形态体系，历史叙事以及包括过去和现在，本地和全球社会的生活经验的多样性。它不仅通过参与主流文化叙事，表达和制度，而且通过非主流个人，社区和文化的视角来实现。人文专业与古典专业一样，融合了语言，文学和文化。专业需要30个上级师和12个下级预科。有两个重点：全球人文和欧洲人文。全球计划提供了欧洲和非欧洲传统之间的对比。欧洲的重点是从古代地中海世界
The humanities comprise all uniquely human accomplishments. Founded in history, they are the artistic and intellectual traditions of civilized peoples, namely: language, literature, philosophy, religion, and the arts. The goal of the humanities major is an interdisciplinary understanding of peoples and their times through accomplishments that convey best what they value most. In short, humanities shows us what being civilized amounts to, and by directing us to the meaning and worth of life, it helps us to create and enjoy a life of our own.<br>Majors in humanities may choose a general course of studies that allows for a balance between Western and non-Western civilization or they may emphasize European civilization, which takes its start with the Greeks. They all have at their disposal the Burnett Classics Seminar Room with its library and media resources. In addition to close academic advising and fellowship in a small department with diverse interests, they culminate their studies with a senior seminar.
