Humanities Division


Return to: College of Arts and Sciences

These are central concerns of the departments or programs of African American Studies; English; Languages, Literatures and Linguistics; Art and Music Histories; Philosophy; Religion and Women’s and Gender Studies. Hence, most courses satisfying the Humanities Division requirements come from these departments and programs.
