Advising
Bachelor of Arts Humanities
The B.A. Humanities degree program offers two concentrations, in the History of Culture, and in Religion and Culture. A third program, B.A. Humanities—Elementary Education, prepares students to teach humanities subjects in primary schools
To declare a major in any of the B.A. Humanities programs, students should meet the requirements for taking LBRL 302, Methods of Interdisciplinary Study, normally taken in the junior year. Admission to LBRL 302 requires an average grade of B in all prior Liberal Studies courses. For admission students must have completed the first two courses in the department’s Western Tradition series, LBRL 121, The Ancient World, and LBRL 122, Medieval and Early Modern Europe, and simultaneously must take LBRL 123, The Modern World, if they have not already completed it.
Students considering any of the B.A. Humanities majors should meet with the Chair of the department, Prof. Scott Pearce, or with Prof. Jonathan Miran for formal advising and to begin making a plan of study. To arrange for an appointment, please contact the department office:
