Arts & Humanities Program

The bachelor of arts program in arts and humanities (HUM) is designed for students who like to read and write and are interested in American culture in all its diversity. This degree prepares students for careers as diverse as education, print and broadcast journalism, advertising, government, politics, and arts management, or for further study in a range of graduate programs and professional schools (e.g., law, education, business, English, history).

Courses examine a variety of contemporary and historical issues, and do so in ways that make the past more interesting and the present more understandable. A wide variety of courses blend such fields as American and African-American literature, psychology, gay and lesbian studies, popular culture, photography, creative writing, critical theory, religion, and evolution. Concentrations are available in gender studies, media and cultural studies, and religious studies. Classes feature small group work, class discussions, and written work designed to encourage critical thinking, and communication and leadership skills necessary to advance professionally and contribute meaningfully as citizens in our pluralistic society.
