Drawing on disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge, faculty seek to assist students to become familiar with the ways of knowing in the arts and humanities and more capable in a range of intellectual and expressive abilities. Their courses focus on key ideas and issues in human experience, emphasize the value of the creative arts of literature, theater, music, and art, explore the history and culture of other peoples and other times, emphasize the responsibilities of democratic citizenship, and alert the student to important issues that occur in a complex and increasingly interdependent and global world.
Most recent features – Spring 2008 – include courses on Medieval to Early Modern Europe: Siena, Florence, Padua; Arab Americans; Asia and the World and Self Society and Technology.
