The Interdisciplinary Humanities Program is a sequence of four chronologically arranged writing-intensive courses, ordinarily intended for freshmen and sophomores, which introduces the cultural history of the Western world. The program is team-taught, with joint lectures for all students and smaller discussion sections. It focuses on major phenomena in Western arts, literature, history, philosophy, and religion.
Those who complete the entire humanities sequence receive credit for four college course requirements: philosophy/religion, History 100, art, and English 101, and satisfy the two course requirement for writing-intensive courses. These credits also satisfy 100-level prerequisites for upper-level courses in English, history, philosophy, religion, music history, and theatre history, and for the upper-level courses in art for which Art 103 is prerequisite. A student who receives credit for the full Humanities sequence may not receive credit for either English 101 or History 100.
Those who complete only part of the humanities sequence receive one elective credit for each course completed, and they must fulfill all college requirements in the usual way. Students who complete two humanities courses receive one writing-intensive course credit. For students who complete the humanities sequence and go on to major in English, art, or history, the equivalent of one full course (four semester hours) is considered part of the major field, and three courses (twelve hours) count as work done outside the major.
Individual courses are open to all students in the college for elective credit, when space is available.
