Arts & Humanities

This program offers perhaps the most versatile and flexible degree available for students who want both a solid liberal arts education and strong preparation for a wide range of career options. Our carefully designed curriculum asks students to examine a variety of contemporary and historical issues, and does so in ways that make the past relevant and interesting and the present understandable. Our courses blend such fields as literature (traditional, African-American and Native American), French North American studies, popular culture, gay and lesbian studies, history/geography, photography, creative writing, religion/spirituality, evolutionary biology, and gender studies. As an Arts and Humanities major, you will be invited to explore thought-provoking readings and discuss such topics as racism, religion and politics, gender relations, the relation between science and religion, the mass media as a shaper of culture, and the possibilities of creating personal meaning in a complex and constantly shifting world.

If you want to combine career preparation with this kind of exciting and well rounded liberal arts education, then you should give serious consideration to pursuing a degree in Arts and Humanities.
