The humanities major is a program of studies in European history and culture. The major offers the interested student an interdisciplinary approach to the humanities in areas where the standard curriculum of the departments concerned provides enough complementary courses to constitute a true concentration in a well-defined field. The humanities major provides the opportunity to acquire a strong orientation towards international awareness and is a useful preparation for careers in public affairs, foreign service, international business, the media and the arts. A student who intends to major in the humanities should confer with a member of the humanities advisory council as early as possible. The humanities major offers concentrations in classical studies, medieval studies, modern European studies and Christian humanism.
Language study is important for the student of the humanities.
Each student is required to take a foreign language through the fourth semester or its equivalent. 37 S. College Ave.
