There has never been a more crucial time for an understanding of the humanities than the present. The major in East-West Humanities is a truly interdisciplinary and integrative major that examines human expression, thought and creativity across time and space. Students have the opportunity to bring together courses from a variety of disciplines and connect them under an overarching theme. The major - organized around a core of courses in which students examine classical works, major ideas and cultural expressions from Western, Asian and indigenous traditions - employs a comparative perspective to the study of the arts and the traditional humanities. In these courses, and especially as part of their capstone experience, students will engage critically with the many notions of East and West across their chosen areas of concentration.<br>The East-West Humanities program has been designed to nourish and inspire global citizenship for the 21st century. The major prepares students to live and learn as active members of a global society.
