Humanities Divisional Major
The Humanities B.A. degree offers students the opportunity to attain two goals: a broad immersion in the humanities – art, communication, English, foreign languages, music, philosophy, religion, and theatre – and a deeper study in two of these disciplines. Humanities graduates pursue careers in law, education, ministry, the arts, journalism, and business. Most important, students emerge as well-rounded, insightful human beings with the ability to think clearly and critically. Students interested in this major should contact the Humanities Division chair.
