Humanities — Religion and Culture Concentration, Thesis, BADepartment of Liberal Studies, College of Humanities and Social Sciences 65-70 creditsIntroduction/What is the Study of Humanities - Religion and Culture Concentration, Thesis?The two concentrations for a BA in Humanities provide interdisciplinary study of the Humanities (philosophy, religion, history, literature and the arts) in Western and other civilizations. The major emphasizes critical reading, analysis and writing and culminates in a senior paper written under advisement, or in further work in rigorous senior seminars. It provides skills and habits of mind which have proved broadly useful in a variety of professional careers, in both public and private settings, and it prepares students for knowledgeable participation in civic life. The major also proved to be excellent preparation for graduate study in law, library science, history, English, comparative literature, and religion. For information or advisement, contact the Liberal Studies Office. Why Consider a Religion and Culture Concentration, Thesis, in Humanities?
