Choose a single area of emphasis: Arts and Humanities, or Social and Behavioral Sciences

Arts and Humanities

The humanities include, but are not limited to, history; literature; philosophy and ethics; foreign languages and cultures; linguistics; jurisprudence or philosophy of law; archaeology; comparative religion; the history, theory, and criticism of the arts; and those aspects of the social sciences (anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, government, and economics) that use historical and interpretive rather than quantitative methods. The humanities enable us to reflect upon our lives and ask fundamental questions of value, purpose, and meaning in a rigorous and systematic way.

Social and Behavioral Sciences

Social sciences refer to any discipline or branch of science that deals with the social and cultural aspects of human behavior. The social sciences generally include Economics, Political Science, Sociology, and may include Cultural Anthropology, Geography, Psychology, and Social Psychology. This area of emphasis is designed to give students a broad foundation in the related fields of the social and behavioral sciences, and prepare students to think critically, analyze evidence effectively, and understand the different approaches of the various disciplines that examine people as members of society and how societies and social groups operate.
