人文学科专业从批判性地审视西方和非西方早期文化的文化，思想和价值观，既包括其原始时期，也包括后来被挪用和改造的文化。特别是，该计划旨在培养批判性意识，使人们了解古典历史如何被包括美国在内的现代文化用作标志或理想，以及西方文化如何发展出对自身的独特看法，这与非西方文化截然不同。 -西方文化。特别推荐该专业的学生是出于自身或为商业和专业的准备而对文科产生广泛兴趣的学生。人文学科计划的独特之处在于，它使学生有机会从众多不同学科（历史，文学，哲学，宗教研究，艺术史，音乐史）中选择广泛的课程。
The major in Humanities critically examines the culture, ideas, and values of earlier cultures, western and non-western, both in their original time periods and as they have been appropriated and transformed by later ages. In particular, the program seeks to develop a critical awareness of how the classical past has been utilized as a symbol or an ideal by modern cultures, including American, and how western culture has developed its own particular views about itself as being distinctly different from non-western cultures. The major is especially recommended for students who have a broad interest in the liberal arts either for their own sake or as preparation for business and the professions. The Humanities program is unique in allowing students the opportunity to select a wide spectrum of courses from a multiplicity of different disciplines (history, literature, philosophy, religious studies, art history, music history).
