Undergraduate Home
The department of Humanities and Cultural Studies offers two interdisciplinary degrees. The Humanities Degree focuses on European, Latin American, and North American cultures studies. The American Studies Degree focuses exclusively on United States culture. Students can also earn minors in both Humanities and American Studies. Visit the Undergraduate Requirements page for more information.
Both degrees integrate the fine arts, popular and folk arts, material culture, philosophy and social history. Through these studies, we pursue a modified version of the traditional "liberal arts" education, emphasizing how cultural values develop and are communicated. All faculty members have interdisciplinary backgrounds and hold doctoral degrees in fields such as American Studies, Art History, Comparative Arts, Literature, History and Musicology.
For more information about how to get started on your Humanities or American Studies Degree, please contact the Humanities and American Studies Undergraduate Advisor, Kasandrea Sereno. You may find her information on our advising page.
