General Education Mode 3 - Humanities

The humanities are an expression of what humankind over the centuries has felt, thought and created in the search for answers to questions about personal identity, origin and the meaning of life. The humanities prepare students for a lifetime of inquiry, thereby enriching their own life experience now and in the future.

By studying the humanities, students will:

1. Engage effectively in creative or interpretive skills and processes.
2. Demonstrate the ability to discover larger patterns or relationships, discriminate among multiple views, and make connections to other times and peoples, their works, beliefs and cultures.
3. Demonstrate the ability to communicate one’s understanding and knowledge with clarity and persuasiveness—orally, visually and/or in writing.
