Objectives
The Departments of English, History and Philosophy offer an interdepartmental
major in humanities. It consists of a concentration of
18-20 units in one area and two support areas of six upper division
units each. The area of concentration is basically an emphasis in the
desired field but offers more flexibility through advisement of the
Humanities Committee.
The objective of the humanities major is to provide the student with
a broader perspective in selected liberal arts disciplines than is possible
with a single subject matter. Courses taken to satisfy the general
education requirement cannot be credited to the major.
Degree Program
A Bachelor of Arts Degree in Humanities is offered upon completion
of the university baccalaureate and humanities major in one of the
following concentrations.
