The Minor in Humanities provides students with a comprehensive introduction to cultural achievements through the ages and offers a deeper understanding of, and a greater appreciation for, the entire legacy of human self-expression. The study of humanities broadens awareness of the cultural forces which have shaped and continue to control world affairs. Students gain invaluable insights for traveling, visiting museums, attending concerts, and, in countless other ways, participating in the ongoing transmission of human civilization.
