UMUC's Bachelor of Arts in Humanities enables students to
broaden their understanding of themselves and their interaction
with the world, providing a high standard for understanding
of their cultural and intellectual heritage while giving them
the tools to use that knowledge as lifelong learners. Students
explore how individuals and groups understand their existence,
their place within their cultures, and their responsibility
to others and the physical world. They learn how to express
this understanding—by studies in literature, language,
and history and through creative and expressive art—and
define their own meaning of humanness within an increasingly
technological and diverse world. The interdisciplinary curriculum
draws on art, art history, cultural history, literature, language,
music, philosophy and religious studies, and theater.
Intended Program Outcomes
The student who graduates with a major in the humanities
will be able to
- Use the knowledge, experiences, and skills gained from
the study of the humanities to develop one’s identity
as a lifelong learner and contributing member of one’s
community and society.
- Plan, communicate, and implement coherent and justifiable
practices that improve human conditions.
- Critically analyze ideas and defend recommendations for
improving the conditions of all members of society.
- Act in a personally and socially responsible manner,
recognizing the complexity and diversity of the human experience.
Requirements
Applicants must have graduated from a regionally accredited
high school or have completed the General Educational Development
