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.
