Humanities (HUM)

http://catalog.wofford.edu/courses-programs-departments/humanities/

The Humanities major is an interdisciplinary study that combines courses offered in the following disciplines: Art History, English, Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, History, Philosophy, Religion and Theater. It offers students the opportunity to design their own major, but it also requires extra initiative to do so. Students considering this major should understand that it is not intended for those who simply have a broad interest in the humanities; such students should major in one of the humanities departments and take electives in the others.  The student majoring in Humanities will study specific disciplines and then incorporate them into a final capstone/project.  Any student interested in this major should contact the coordinator to discuss the suitability of the major for the student’s interests and will assist in selecting faculty members who might appropriately serve as a committee to direct the major
