Introduction

The Faculty of Humanities offers a degree program with a Major in General Humanities.

The program is designed to provide students with the opportunity of a broad education in the Humanities. It may usefully be supplemented, by way of career preparation, with courses preparatory to application for admission to a professional Faculty (e.g., Medicine), or with an appropriate Minor (e.g., the Minor in Management and Society, or Law and Society). Advice on these and related matters may be obtained from the Associate Dean (Academic Programs and Student Affairs).

Admission

See 3.1 Admissions

Students intending to register in the BA program with Major in General Humanities must consult with the Associate Dean (Academic Programs and Student Affairs), Faculty of Humanities, for final approval of their selected program.

Requirements

The program requires the completion of two core courses (Humanities 305 and 307); additional courses are selected from the course offerings of the various Departments within the Faculty.

The requirements for the BA program, Major in General Humanities, are as follows:

1. The general regulations of the Faculty with respect to all the BA programs with a Major Field apply (see 3.5 Graduation), together with the following specific requirements.

2. All students must complete Humanities 305 and 307; this requirement should normally be met by the end of the third year of study.

3. In order to establish breadth in the Humanities, at least one full-course equivalent must be taken from each of the following areas of study: (i) English; (ii) Philosophy; (iii) a modern language or literature other than English; (iv) Greek and Roman Studies; (v) Religious Studies; (vi) Comparative Literature.

4. A minimum of one additional full-course equivalent must be chosen from each of two of the six subject areas specified in paragraph 3.

5. One full-course equivalent must be chosen, in consultation with the Associate Dean (Academic Programs and Student Affairs), from among the courses offered by the Department of History.

6. At least five full-course equivalents counting toward the Major field must be at the senior level. Students should refer to the chart in this Calendar for a list of senior courses in Humanities without prerequisites.

Other Requirements

Language Requirement

A working knowledge is required of a language other than English. This requirement may be met in any language, ancient or modern, in which courses are offered by the Faculty of Humanities. The requirement may be met either by the successful completion of course work (e.g., the course requirement specified in 3 (iii) or (v)), or by examination. Language competence is required at a level equivalent to the completion of a full senior course in the language in question.
