Humanities General Education Courses and Electives

The Humanities Program offers a wide range of courses that explore central concepts in philosophy, history, art, technology, behavior and religion. These courses fall into two broad categories: 2-Credit GE Courses and 4-Credit Electives, both aiming to familiarize students with methods of critical thinking in light of the history of ideas, socio-economic paradigms, technological transformations, artistic achievements, and religious, ethical and political movements.  Students gain a profound and critical understanding of themselves, of others, and of the societies in which human beings exist, thrive and struggle.
