Curious about what it means to be human in the world? Curious about the different ways that human cultures have envisioned the place of humanity in the natural world? Then this one might be the major for you. You’ll focus on exploring the human condition and the human relationship to the natural world through the ideas, artistic movements, religions, ideologies, and intellectual structures that humans use to understand and give meaning to their existence. At the heart of this exploration is the commitment to delve into multiple perspectives from the humanities to understand ideas and attitudes toward the environment across multiple eras, regions, and cultures.

Gain a strong foundation in critical thinking, reading and interpretive skills, comparative study, and effective writing. When you leave campus, you’ll be prepared for careers in the humanities, publishing, ministry, writing, public relations, public administration, nonprofit work, journalism, politics, government, and diplomatic service. You may also wish to pursue further study in graduate school.
