Requirements for Major

The BA in Humanities is designed to combine and integrate studies in more than one discipline. The heart of the program is the interdisciplinary study of two university disciplines. Students must complete the required Humanities courses listed below and then choose two distinct disciplines, one from each of the lists below. The same discipline may not be selected for first and second disciplines.
Transfer students may fulfill requirements for a Fine Arts discipline with equivalent or appropriate course work in the Fine Arts from another institution. Consult the Registrar's Office or the Humanities Program Director, Dr. Daniel Scalberg, to help make that determination.
