Ringkasan program

The interdisciplinary major in the humanities enables students to broaden their understanding of themselves and their interaction with the world, providing a high standard for understanding of their cultural and intellectual heritage while giving them the tools to use that knowledge as lifelong learners. Students explore how individuals and groups understand their existence, their place within their cultures and their responsibility to others and the physical world. They learn how to express this understanding by studies in literature, language, history and through creative and expressive art and define their own meaning of humanness within an increasingly technological and diverse world. The interdisciplinary curriculum draws on art, art history, cultural history, literature, language, music, philosophy and religious studies and theater. The student who graduates with a major in the humanities will be able to compare and contrast the cultural traditions and value assumptions that underlie the history of specific cultures, identify the ethical content of cultures and societies and how they interact with an individual's self-understanding and behavior, analyze and compare cultures and their social and material artifacts from multicultural perspectives using interdisciplinary and critical perspectives and read critically, write and speak effectively and engage in independent research on abstract topics.
