Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Humanities (Online)
The Humanities Major allows students to situate themselves richly and confidently in the present by engaging them with the ideas, works, and cultural and historical movements which shaped it. In allowing students to develop broader cultural and personal knowledge, this major also cultivates those capacities and skills so important to any future profession: the ability to respond critically to the written word; to be resourceful in fact-finding; to evaluate data critically and to formulate theories about them; to gain facility with writing different kinds and lengths of papers; to communicate clearly and persuasively in written form; to approach situations and tasks drawing on a broad-based cultural competency.
