The Humanities Program is a two-course sequence: HUM 103 in the fall and HUM 104 in the spring, for which students earn a total of three credits. Completing the sequence also fulfills three graduation requirements: (1) the Writing requirement, (2) the Historical Thought requirement, and (3) the Literary Studies, Creative Writing, and Rhetoric requirement. 2 credits What is the Humanities Program? Humanities is a two-semester sequence that explores big questions from many different perspectives. It’s also a community of students and faculty who explore ideas together and hone their skills as speakers and writers. It’s the essence of a liberal arts education. Why should I sign up for Humanities? You’ll learn how to do college-level thinking and writing, working within a tight-knit community of teachers and learners exploring important ideas together. You’ll satisfy three graduation requirements in two semesters. You’ll develop your skills as a writer, speaker, and web designer. You’ll improve your readiness for upper-level courses in multiple disciplines. You’ll learn skills employers value, including working independently and in teams, thinking for yourself, and seeing the big picture. What makes Humes different from other first-year experiences? Most college courses explore the world from a particular perspective. The Humanities Program is interdisciplinary, which means you’ll be looking at big questions from multiple perspectives: literature, history, art, science, philosophy, religion, and more. Humes has an off-campus pre-orientation event in the North Carolina mountains. You’ll arrive at orientation with friends and mentors already in place. (This pre-orientation does not prevent you from participating in other pre-orientation activities.) Prerequisites & Notes The course has a required preorientation. Visit the Sapere Aude preorientation webpage for more information.
