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.
