HumanitiesProgram Director: Elizabeth WenglerThe Humanities major offers students an interdisciplinary program of study in classical, medieval and Renaissance, or modern European studies. The major serves students whose interests in these areas extend beyond the scope of the standard curriculum of a single humanities department by offering students the opportunity to choose an interdisciplinary course of study. Students in this major acquire a broad-based understanding of a specified historical period or theme in classical, medieval and Renaissance, or modern European culture by integrating course work from at least three different areas within the Humanities Division: history, philosophy, literature, theology, and the fine arts (art, music, or theater). The humanities major builds on the skills emphasized in the core curriculum. This major supports the coordinate mission by fostering a unified liberal arts curriculum, leading students to a better understanding of the complexities of the human condition. The major provides a strong basis for graduate work in any area of the humanities, and is a useful preparation for careers in public affairs, foreign service, international business, the media and the arts. A student who intends to major in the humanities should confer with a member of the Humanities Council as early as possible. Faculty members serving on the council are: Scott Richardson (classical studies); Nathaniel Dubin and Theresa Vann (medieval studies); Cynthia Curran, Elisabeth Wengler and Charles Wright (modern European studies). Students must choose a faculty advisor in a humanities department.
