The minor in international
humanities encourages students to explore the cultural environments of
civilizations outside of the English-speaking world of Great Britain and the
United States. Emphasis is on literature, history, art, and religion, with
opportunities for additional studies in philosophy and music. Studies Abroad
students are encouraged to discuss possible substitutions with the coordinator.
The requirement for successful completion of the minor is 24 credit hours.
All students are required to
complete 6-credit hours from the Gateway courses. Students then complete a
minimum of 9-credit hours in Concentration One. The remaining 9 credit hours
may be selected from among courses in Concentration One and/or Concentration
Two. The courses selected must represent four disciplines. Only 6 credits from
a student’s major discipline may be double-counted in the minor concentrations.
Students may select one 200-level course beyond the Gateway Requirement; all
other courses must be at the 300-400 level. With the approval of the
coordinator, one course from the electives list or a selected topics course
from one of the participating disciplines may be substituted for a course in
the concentrations.
For further information and a
complete list of the courses in each concentration, contact the coordinator.
