A General Major in Humanities, unlike a single discipline major, allows students to customize their course selection to their interests and abilities. Where they compromise depth of focus in one area, they gain breadth of knowledge in a few key areas, thus increasing their flexibility. This multidisciplinary approach provides access to the "big picture" or the wider context of any subject area.
Students choosing a General Major in the Humanities select three disciplinary streams from the following:
- One of Art, Dramatic Arts, or Music
- English
- One of French, Japanese, or Spanish Classical Languages (Greek, Hebrew, and Latin)
- History
- Linguistics
- Native American Studies
- Philosophy
- Religious Studies
