Students wishing to specialize should take at least eight courses (24 hours) in a particular discipline.

 

Students planning to go on to graduate study in the humanities are encouraged to take at least one independent study course.

 

For single majors, all major coursework is over and above general education humanities requirements, and must be chosen in consultation with the studentπs academic advisor.

 

For multiple majors, up to two courses may in some cases be double-counted as applying to both humanities general education and the humanities major.

Total Hours: 126

 

*Students accepted into the Honors Pre-Law program forego the minor and most of the free electives, and take all the other coursework in the first three years.
