Bachelor of Arts - Humanities
2007-2009
The B.A. degree in humanities primarily is a pre-professional program for students planning post-baccalaureate study in communications, English, journalism, law, or the ministry. Beyond the general studies requirements, students in the humanities program must complete the humanities core courses, an English or pre-law specialization, and additional restricted electives. The capstone course, Projects in Humanities, is part of the humanities core and is taken during the senior year.
The humanities major must earn a 2.0 quality point average on all work applied to the general studies requirements, the humanities core, including the capstone course, and the area of specialization.
