Humanities

The humanities are focused on the human experience exploring the record of our lives through the traces we leave: literature, art, theater, communications, philosophy, and history. Combined, the record of human experience enriches our relationships with every other person, living or dead. Regardless of your life path, an Associate Degree in Humanities provides you with the basis for a life well lived.

Students will be able to:

• Understand and articulate the role of the Humanities in analyzing and interpreting the human experience;
• Identify and analyze significant social, political, cultural movements across societies and cultures;
• Apply an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the nature and challenges of being human;
• Develop an apply ability to communicate effectively using reason based evidence.

Each student is strongly encouraged to meet with his/her advisor to work out a specific course schedule to meet individual interests and goals.
