Humanities

This degree enables students whose broad interest in the arts and culture encompasses a range of disciplines and courses documenting the human condition and experience not typically found within a single academic unit or program.

Students can devise a program of study with courses analyzing art, history literature, music, philosophy, and religion, which meets their academic or career goals as well as WSU degree standards. The courses used help students in understanding and recording our world (present and past).
