Great Books Major

It is now possible to construct a major in the great books under the auspices of the Liberal Arts Humanities Program.

The Humanities Program offers the highly motivated and able student the opportunity to fashion his or her own course of study as a major for the B.A. degree. Each applicant to the program consults with the Humanities adviser to design a major consisting of forty-two credit hours beyond The University's basic education requirements. Each course in the individual program of study must clearly contribute to a coherent major with a focus on a particular theme, idea, or question.

Admission into the Humanities Program is by application only. Students interested in applying for Humanities as a major are encouraged to review the major requirements, the contract form, and the application materials provided on the Humanities Program website, and to consult with the director, Larry Carver, during their freshman or sophomore year.
