人文专业的学生在探索已经面临的重要问题时，学会解释，比较和整合人文研究的各个对象，例如文学，音乐，视觉文化，漫画和图形叙事，建筑和城市空间，哲学和​​文化理论。对于计划主修人文学科或辅修人文学科的学生，建议使用本系的低年级普通教育课程（HUM 130，HUM 220，HUM 225）或其他与思想，社会条件和艺术形式有关的低年级课程。HUM 130或HUM 220可作为跨文化研究的选修科目。强烈建议您学习或熟练掌握外语，并辅修专业。
The Humanities program offers students understanding of cultural experience through interdisciplinary study of the humanities. Undergraduate and graduate students study creative practices, cultural values, and insights of diverse human communities, past and present. Humanities majors explore methods of bringing the various humanities, such as literature, music, visual forms, and architecture, into an integrative view of the world's cultural diversity.<br><br>With this integrative approach to American and world cultures, the humanities major provides an excellent foundation for jobs in government, business, law, education, and the arts. Practical training in a specific professional field (TESOL, journalism, museum work, etc.) may well be taken in conjunction with the major or the minor in humanities. The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities program is also good preparation for entering a K–12 single subject or multiple subject teaching credential programs.
