Overview
Key facts
- The Humanities major at the Marshall University is unique in two ways: students may choose course work equivalent to a major in a single department or create a broader curriculum of their choice from various humanities courses; and our program also has a strong interdisciplinary side.
- The final degree certificate shows both the departmental discipline and the Humanities major.
- The goal of the program is to help us deepen our understanding of ourselves and our culture, by exploring the ways human beings find meaning in their experience. We explore these ways by studying both our own individual insights and the artistic, philosophical and religious works that have expressed and shaped human experience.
- Each student selects five upper-level courses reflecting her or his own interests, in addition to one prescribed introductory course in each department, and three required team-taught, interdisciplinary courses.
