HUM 113 - Introduction to Humanities

Introduction to representative works across the humanities: literature, visual art, music, theater, and philosophy. Though the major emphasis falls on literature, half of the class focuses on the other disciplines. With primary interest in the Western tradition, non-Western cultures will also be examined. Students will investigate the ways works speak for and against the times that created them. The study promotes independent thinking skills and cultivates careful communication.
