Background and Philosophy

    The Division of Humanities offers one of the oldest Humanities degree programs in the country. Officially established in 1933 to provide an integrated and interdisciplinary cultural background in art, literature, music, theatre, and philosophy, the Division continues to pursue its original mission of encouraging students "to begin upon what should be a lifelong clarification" of values, outlook, and personal philosophy. Based on the conviction that the "best education" is one which provides students with opportunities to pursue their own interests within a structured program while emphasizing the continuing development of students' skills in reading, thinking, and writing, the Division faculty works with each Major to create individual programs of study that reflect the student's interests and goals. The interdisciplinary programs in Humanities are designed to provide students with a broad grasp of the arts and humanities with special strengths in selected areas. The disciplines included in the Division are art history, literature, classical and modern languages, music history, philosophy, theatre arts and religious studies. In addition, the Division offers programs in cultural studies that allow students to focus on a cultural period. The periods included are the ancient, medieval and renaissance, early modern, and modern world cultures.

    Since its inception in 1973, Religious Studies has been an integral component of the Humanities Program. Offering a broad range of courses in the study of world religions, the Religious Studies emphasizes diverse world views, analysis of the nature of moral, intellectual, and spiritual values, and an examination of the impact of religious ideas and practices on culture and the arts. The Division of Humanities offers a Minor in Religious Studies, and Religious Studies serves as one of the disciplines in the Humanities BA and MA degree programs.

    In 1958, under the direction of Professor E. C. Hassold, chair of the Division, Humanities put into place a graduate program leading to the MA in Humanities. Today, the Division offers a traditional Master of Arts in Humanities as well as a Master of Arts in Humanities with a concentration in Humanities and Civic Leadership.
    The Humanities Division Mission is to serve as the foundation for interdisciplinary activity of discovery, synthesis, and application of new ideas among the departments and programs housed within the Division. In this regard, the Division provides the umbrella for a number of collaborative efforts among faculty who teach literature, rhetoric, composition, creative writing, linguistics, art history, creative arts, philosophy, religious studies, classical and modem languages, theater arts and production, and music history. The Division of Humanities offers a program of learning, research, and service, the goal of which is to preserve, explore, and enhance humankind's cultural legacy through formal expressions, creative artifacts, philosophical and religious constructs, and communicative methodologies. Faculty of the Division serve as active partners with the community in addressing significant issues in the arts and humanities.

 
    Each department and program in the Humanities Division offers course work related to its discipline. The Division Program offers a series of interdisciplinary courses. Many of these courses may be used to fulfill the college/university elective requirements for graduation.  The Division offers four courses in the Arts and Humanities content area in the new General Education Program and six courses in Cultural Diversity/Competency areas (CD1 and 2).

    The Division is currently designing a Ph. D. program in Humanities.

                            Faculty

    All faculty of the Departments of English, Fine Arts, Classical and Modern Languages, Philosophy, Theatre Arts and of the Division of Humanities are members of the Faculty of the Division. In addition, the Justus Bier Distinguished Professor of Humanities, visiting Bingham Professors and visiting professors in the departments in the Division are members of the Faculty of the Division during the terms of their professorships in the College.

The faculty also includes Lecturers in Humanities whose long-term service and teaching in the Division have provided continuity and consistency for the Humanities programs.

Program in Humanities

Completion of this degree requires work to be submitted for the department's Learning Outcomes Measurement.  For details, see the Undergraduate Advisor in Humanities or consult the Handbook, Graduation Requirements.

Bachelor of Arts in Humanities with concentration in Disciplinary Studies: Option A  

In Option A or Disciplinary Studies, students combine two specialized areas of interest or disciplines selected from the following: Art History, Classical and Modern Languages, Literature, Music History, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Theatre Arts (18 hours in each discipline). Students also take a theory course in each of the two areas or disciplines Each theory course must be applicable to the specific discipline selected and is subject to the approval of the Undergraduate Advisor. Majors take two Humanities courses which emphasize interdisciplinary studies (3 hours at the 300 level and 3 hours at the 500 level).  The complete degree program for Option A can be found at http://www.louisville.edu/provost/undergrad/catalog/degrees.pdf.

Bachelor of Arts in Humanities with concentration in Cultural Studies: Option B

In Option B, students select a cultural period from the following: Ancient, Medieval/Renaissance, and Modern. The content of the courses selected must be appropriate to the period of choice. In addition, majors take three Humanities courses two of which emphasize interdisciplinary relationships within the period and one which focuses on the nature and theory of cultural studies. Within the Modern period, majors who are primarily interested in applying for the MAT in Elementary Education can select a series of courses designed to provide a broad foundation for teaching.  The complete degree program for Option B can be found at http://www.louisville.edu/provost/undergrad/catalog/degrees.pdf.

Minors in Humanities

    Students who wish to minor in Humanities may select either Option A (Disciplinary Studies) or Option B (Cultural Studies).  The complete program for a Minor in Humanities can be found at http://www.louisville.edu//a-s/catalog/degrees/hummin.html

Information for Students

Advising

    The goal of the Division of Humanities is to design a program for every Major that meets the needs and academic interests of the individual student. At the same time, the individual program must conform to the requirements established by the faculty of the Division to ensure a sound academic foundation that will prepare the student for future endeavors. Because of the flexibility as well as the complexity of the Humanities programs, the Division recommends strongly that Majors schedule appointments with the Undergraduate Advisor every semester. In the second semester of the Junior year, majors should apply to the Arts and Sciences Advising Center for a "Degree Check." In case of schedule changes (including withdrawals), majors should confer with the Advisor as soon as possible.

Double Major

    Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the Humanities Major, the combination of a major in another department with one in Humanities is an opportunity which many students choose to pursue. It is particularly useful for students who plan to teach on the secondary level. Those who combine their certification in English with a major in Humanities are especially well prepared to teach both arts and humanities courses in middle and secondary schools.

Honors Program in Humanities

    Honors in Humanities offers superior students a unique opportunity to participate in an intellectually challenging program that emphasizes discussion-based courses on interdisciplinary issues. For the student who has already demonstrated academic superiority, the Honors program is an excellent way to gain recognition for that achievement.

HUM 400: Honors Seminar in Humanities:  Seminar devoted to the intensive                      investigation of a major substantive area within the Humanities.

HUM 500: Honors Thesis in Humanities:  An intensive examination of a topical area in                      Humanities undertaken with a designated faculty director.

    The requirements for entering the Honors in Humanities program are as follows:
                1. A minimum of 45 hours completed in the College of Arts and Sciences;
                2. A minimum 3.0 0verall grade point average;
                3. A minimum of 3.5 grade point average in the Humanities, and
                4. A letter of recommendation from a faculty member in the Humanities                          Division.

      The requirements for graduating with Honors in Humanities are
                1. Maintaining the overall 3.0 grade point average;
                2. The completion of an upper level Honors seminar in the major or one                          approved by the Chair of the Division or by the Honors coordinator;
                3. The successful completion of an Honors project/thesis approved by a                          three-person committee which includes one member from a department in                          the Division.

        In addition, provided that you meet the requirements stipulated by the individual departments in the division (English, for example, requires that you have taken Eng 301 or 302), you may take a departmental Honors course.  You may also take one of the College Scholars seminars (see the College Honors Program in the Undergraduate Catalog), if you have met the requirements and if you have the approval of the Chair of the Division of Humanities.  

    The Honors Thesis is an opportunity for students to test ideas and to discover how much they have learned in their undergraduate career at the University of Louisville. Moreover, students who qualify for the Honors in Humanities program may also be eligible for College Honors. See the Director of the College Honors Program for more information.

HUGO: Humanities Undergraduate Organization

The Humanities Undergraduate and Graduate Organization was established in 1997 to provide a support network for both graduate and undergraduate students that would guide or assist them in their academic and social pursuits. One of its major goals is to make available pertinent information about arts and humanities events and organizations in the community. A second goal is to increase the number of opportunities for Humanities Majors and Graduate students to become acquainted with one another in both academic and social settings.

Special Programs in the Division

The Division of Humanities has played an active role in developing and implementing the concept of the "Learning Community." The "learning community" is formed when groups of students take a block of courses together. For example, HUM 101: Masterpieces of World Literature to 1700 and HUM 102: Masterpieces of World Literature since 1700 have been paired with ENG 101: Introduction to College Writing and ENG 102: Intermediate College Writing. History and Humanities have also worked together to create a learning community by pairing HIST 101: History of Civilizations with HUM 101. The "Summer Start" program for incoming freshmen is a "learning community" designed specifically to meet the needs of the entering student.

Program Objectives

Program Objectives for All Humanities Majors:

I. Humanities Majors will develop skills necessary for critical thinking:

A.  Analysis: identifying problems, presenting and synthesizing arguments, creating original solutions, and evaluating those solutions;

B.  Sound research methodology: finding, evaluating, using evidence based on established methods of inquiry; and

C.  Interpretation: the ability to explain and interpret "texts" critically and analytically. In this instance, "texts" may include literary works, architectural monuments, creative artifacts or performances.

II. Humanities Majors will be able to demonstrate the skills necessary for effective communication:

A. Listening;

B. Speaking;

C. Reading; and

D. Writing.

Because these skills belong to the individual and because fulfilling these objectives will encourage flexibility, mental agility, and creativity based  on a sound  foundation of measurable achievement,  they are not specific to any particular  program, but, in fact, are what might be termed "life skills."

III. The content of the Humanities Program asks its majors

A. To develop a cultural consciousness that can be evaluated by their ability to identify the critical questions that have challenged human imagination and creativity over time and that characterize a given period, to explain how the most important creative works of a given period or discipline are interrelated and how they reflect the cultural context in which they are created; and to discuss, in a fair and open-minded manner, the values of cultures different from the students' own;

B. To develop a sensitivity to the ideas and beliefs of others by learning to construct arguments that reflect several perspectives on an issue, thus gaining experience that leads to tolerance and self-understanding, essential steps in developing criteria by which values may be judged;

C. To become familiar with and able to discuss the concept of "shared human values" from period to period, from discipline to discipline;

D. To become aware of the major current theoretical issues in the Humanities; for example, questions of content and approach arising from gender studies, multi-cultural perspectives, the validity of the Western canon, to name but a few;

E. To develop a sense of intellectual integrity that involves taking responsibility for one's ideas as well as acknowledging and  giving credit for the ideas of others; and

F. To become aware of, and responsive to, the potential significance of the seemingly irrelevant details that make up a cultural period.

Objectives Specific to Option A: Disciplinary Studies

Humanities Majors who select Option A should be able to demonstrate

1. Knowledge of the basics of each selected discipline: history,  terminology, theory, current scholarship, important works;

2. Knowledge of, and the ability to analyze critically, current theory in each of the selected disciplines;

3. The ability to perceive and to present in a cogent and convincing form the similarities and differences between the two disciplines in a given period (on the basis of work in Hum 300-305; Hum 591-594, and Hum 509/609) and to argue the significance of the similarities or differences for understanding the historical or cultural context of the period;

4. The ability to trace a theme through a variety of manifestations; for example, the nature of "humanness," the problem of evil, the search or knowledge, the importance of community, freedom, or love; and

5. The ability to demonstrate both continuity and change in each discipline from a historical point of view as well as the   connections between their two disciplines in genre, theme, and artistic form over a period of years.

Objectives Specific to Option B: Cultural Studies

Humanities Majors who select Option B should be able to demonstrate

1. Knowledge of the major trends, works, ideas in at least four of the content areas (art history, philosophy, music history, literature, theatre arts, religious studies, classical and modern languages) in the selected cultural period;

2. An understanding of interdisciplinary theory and the application of theory in a study that involves the comparison of two works representing different disciplines or media within the same cultural period;

3.The ability to perceive and present in oral or written form the  relationship between the creative arts and their cultural context as  well as the interrelationships among the arts in a particular context;

4.The ability to trace a theme through a variety of manifestations; for example, the nature of "humanness," the problem of evil, the search for knowledge, the importance of community, freedom, love, and

5 .The impact of ideas from other disciplines outside the Humanities (e.g., evolution, the relativity of time, the psychological theory of instinct) on the creative and performing arts of the period.

               http://graduate.louisville.edu/humantes.htm

The Louis D. Brandeis School of Law and the Division of Humanities of the College of Arts and Sciences and Graduate School have developed a framework for interdisciplinary studies that will result in dual degrees in Law and Humanities. It recognizes the value of pursuing interdisciplinary study, of exploring the interrelationship of the study of law and the study of arts and humanities, and the application of this knowledge to civic leadership. Students who have an interest in both law and humanities are encouraged to pursue these two degrees simultaneously.

The dual degree program will allow qualified students to complete both degree programs in about four or five years.

Admission Requirements

The JD/MA program is open to all students who have successfully completed a baccalaureate degree at an accredited college or university. To be admitted into the program, the student must 1) apply to, 2) meet the admission requirements of, and 3) be accepted by both the Graduate School and the School of Law.

Upon admission to both schools, students must submit a letter of intent and a proposed course of study to the admission office of the school in which they first intend to take courses, or in which they currently are taking courses. Also, a copy of the letter must be sent by the student to the admissions office of the other school.
