Humanities

This course offers a general survey of the humanities. Art, music, literature, theater, and philosophy are studied and discussed from a historical and cultural context. Students are encouraged to think critically while evaluating the humanistic disciplines and their bearing on wider social ideals, issues, and questions.

International Experience is designed to help students develop knowledge, skills and strategies to have a successful study abroad experience. Students will enhance their cultural observation, communication, and acculturation skills and learn basic knowledge of the language, history and culture of the country of study. This course begins in the fall or summer semester and continues beyond the end of the semester with travel and study abroad. Students will participate in classroom lectures and visits to sites that are historically and culturally significant in the country of study. The number of credits for this course will vary from 1-15 depending on the length of study abroad; 1 credit per week abroad plus one additional credit is the standard.
