2007-08 Academic Year - Humboldt State University

Area C
Arts, literature, philosophy, modern languages
Goals. Arts and humanities courses cultivate
imagination, sensibility, and sensitivity in the
cognitive, physical, and emotional aspects
of human experience. Students are encouraged
to respond to experience subjectively
and to discriminate emotional responses
of integrity.
Some courses involve students in individual
aesthetic and creative experiences in art,
drama, and music. Others examine great
works of the human imagination, thereby
increasing appreciation of the subjective
response to human experience as presented
in literature, philosophy, and religion. All
courses promote understanding of the
relationships between the arts and humanities
disciplines and other general education
areas.
Humanities courses:
• develop understanding of the importance
of arts and humanities to the overall understanding
of human experience;
• heighten students’ perceptions of their
own artistic and humanistic abilities;
• make students more aware of and sensitive
to their artistic environment and their
own reaction to that environment; and
• encourage active participation in developing
critical standards for evaluating
artistic works.
Nine units from at least three different
disciplines. For example, a student with
nine units in art still has to take courses
offered by two other disciplines. A student
with courses in three disciplines, but only
seven total units, still needs two more
units. Please note that Spanish, French,
German and American Sign Language
courses listed below all fall within the
single discipline of Modern Languages.
