Humanities Minor

A minor in humanities gives students an opportunity to study a particular topic from the perspective of several disciplines. You will find yourself challenged as you broaden your knowledge.

The 15 hours must be chosen from more than one department and must include at least 3 hours at the 300-400 level. The courses must pursue a coherent theme or reflect a specific area of interest, and require approval of the program director. Humanities Special Topics courses may be included. Students should declare the minor in Humanities before completing 75 hours of study.
