What is humanities?
The humanities ask, “What does it mean to be human?” As a student in the humanities minor, you’ll explore that fundamental question of existence. For answers, you’ll look everywhere from Greek tragedies, postmodern novels and High Renaissance sculpture to pop art, baroque music and contemporary psychological and social theories. Humanities students are in the company of scientists, artists, musicians, historians, revolutionaries, philosophers and writers who, for thousands of years, have been engaged in the same quest. Students can combine the humanities minor with majors from across the university, from liberal arts to sciences to business.
