Humanities courses expose students to major artistic, literary, philosophical, and
religious works and familiarize them with the methods of inquiry used in the humanities
disciplines. Studies of the humanities enable students to understand, appreciate,
examine, and respond to intellectual, moral, and artistic traditions. Minors are particularly
encouraged to meet regularly with their designated Humanities mentor (assigned by
the coordinator of the Humanities program) to discuss values and skills acquired in
the minor, how courses overlap and differ within the minor, how they relate to the
student’s major, and how the skills and knowledge acquired in the minor can enhance
opportunities as a student prepares for graduate school and/or the job market.
