The core of the humanities program consists of a sequence of six special courses called the "Great Works Courses" and are devoted to studying certain principal works in the tradition of Western thought. The Great Works Courses are: Great Works of the Ancient World, Great Works of the Middle Ages, Great Works of the Renaissance and Baroque, and Great Works of the Modern World

In support of the core, customize the remainder of your program around either one or two concentrations (15-18 credit hours), or one or two periods (15-18 credit hours), and related courses (6-9 credit hours). See below for more information.
