Humanities
(Interdisciplinary Minor)

In order to offer capable students a forum which encourages the pursuit of ideas across the disciplinary lines of such fields as history, philosophy, literature, politics, religion, and the arts, the minor is offered in Humanities. It requires a total of 20 credits. Candidates for the minor are required to take HMN 280, Reason and Revelation, and HMN 290, Innovation and Inclusivity. When these have been passed, the student is assigned a minor adviser who assists in planning the rest of the student's curriculum. In accordance with the plan, eight more credits are selected from courses in the humanities or related disciplines other than those used by the student to fulfill the Divisional requirements of the College or the requirements of the major. The minor concludes with a four-credit project in Humanities 396 supervised by a member of the Humanities faculty and reviewed by a committee of relevant faculty appointed by the coordinator of Humanities; the project must represent the further pursuit of an idea or topic studied in one of the courses of the minor, and must successfully reflect the synthesis of views from at least two traditional disciplines.
