About the Humanities Program

Objectives

The Humanities Program begins with a broad coverage of the major academic disciplines in the Lower Division courses and proceeds to an in-depth study in the Upper Division courses, resulting in an interdisciplinary major in either Cultural Studies or Policy Studies.

The program is designed to provide a complete and diverse foundation of content, methodology, contact with practical experiences and construction of knowledge. This structure allows for a solid yet flexible base as evidenced by the success of our graduates. Moreover, the flexibility of the program design gives students the opportunity to obtain intermediate degrees throughout their academic career.
