Bachelor of Arts in Humanities: Comparative Mythology - Literature

The Humanities program examines the ideas, values and creative works of earlier cultures and their later influence, through multiple disciplines of the humanities, such as literature, history, art, philosophy, religion and mythology. If you have a broad interest in the liberal arts, then the Humanities major may be for you. You will examine the culture, ideas and values of earlier cultures both in their original time periods and as they were borrowed and transformed by later ages. Learn how the classical past has been used as an ideal by modern cultures – including American culture – and how western culture has developed its own particular views about itself as being distinctly different from non-western cultures. You may find yourself looking at history, cultures and the status quo in new ways. Design Your Own Major: A highly flexible program, the Humanities major gives you tremendous choice in designing your own course of study. Together with your advisor, you can choose from a wide spectrum of courses from different disciplines to chart your own course. The array of interesting and challenging classes will sharpen your critical-thinking skills and prepare you to pursue opportunities in virtually any field after graduation. Comparative Mythology and Literature: The cultural importance and continuity of mythology and literature has a central place in the Humanities curriculum. If you want to focus further on the study of myth and literature, across a range of cultures and periods, the concentration in Comparative Mythology and Literature brings a special emphasis to your major, and adds a special distinction to your degree. By taking a small number of additional key courses, you will develop a deeper familiarity with the myths and literatures of different cultures, and gain important tools for understanding, interpreting and comparing them. And a specialization within your major looks great on your resume and will set you apart during job interviews.
