HUMA 1010 HU - Introduction to Humanities

Credits: (3)
Typically Taught Fall Semester: Full Sem
Description: This course examines the world by learning about humanistic disciplines including philosophy, art, literature, and history. In considering how the humanities help us understand what makes us human, we will explore questions about individual identity and our roles in our communities. Europeans in the Renaissance thought that the study of the humanities would make people better citizens. We will ask ourselves if we agree with that sentiment and reflect on what the arts and humanities mean to us as individuals and as a society in the twenty-first century.
