Why Choose the Interdisciplinary Humanities Minor?

A minor in Interdisciplinary Humanities involves broad study of the culture of a given place and time, whether it be contemporary America, ancient Greece, or the Far East. It considers how artists, writers, and intellectuals have responded to the challenges of their own time. Students examine the historical political, economic, and social developments of a certain time or place, and then evaluate the cultural expressions (philosophy, history, religion, art, music, drama, literature, and film) in light of those conditions. Interdisciplinary Humanities expose students to many concepts, develop their skills of interpretation and critical thinking, and enable students to become cultural and social critics.
