Humanities - Milligan College

Humanities from Milligan College is a Campus Bachelor Humanities degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The purpose of the major in humanities is to allow students to pursue an interdisciplinary course of study. Although the major is not structured as a prevocational course, it does provide a broad undergraduate education from which a student can move into teaching or into several graduate programs including law. It focuses upon the great ideas that have shaped history and created contemporary civilizations. Graduates with a major in humanities will demonstrate the ability to (1) plan, create, and carry out an interdisciplinary major in the humanities designed to meet individual interests and career goals; (2) design and carry out an extensive interdisciplinary research or creative project under the guidance of a faculty committee recruited by the student; (3) make connections between academic disciplines and between those disciplines and their Christian faith. Humanities major - B.A. (24 hrs) Requirements for the humanities major are 24 hours of junior and senior level course work, including at least three hours of Humanities 490, and approved courses from among the disciplines of history, literature, philosophy, fine arts, foreign language, and Bible. A few selected 200 level courses have also been approved for inclusion in this major; the humanities advisers have a listing of the specific courses. The humanities major is available only as a Bachelor of Arts degree; therefore, foreign language through the intermediate level is required. The humanities major offers specialization in one or more of the following fields: literature, history, fine arts, foreign language (Spanish or French only), and Bible (not including 471). With advisement, this major may satisfy the better part of the ?two concentrations? required for middle grades licensure. Each student who selects a major in humanities works with an adviser, usually the Director of Humanities, to design a program to meet the needs and desires of the individual student. The student working with an advisory committee plans the HUMN 490 course, which serves as the capstone course for the major. Students with a humanities major are encouraged to fulfill requirements for a minor from the disciplines of Bible, English, fine arts, foreign language, history, philosophy, or educational studies . However, students who choose a minor in other fields (or who choose not to do a minor) may still select a major in humanities. View more details on Milligan College .
