Humanities

This requirement aims to teach students to analyze information and perspectives, to identify relationships between ideas, hidden assumptions and potential bias, and to distinguish between known elements (facts) and suspected elements (hypotheses, opinions), and between correlations and causal relationships. Further, it challenges students to understand the human condition, empathize with those suffering, recognize injustice, and detect God's creative presence in the world.

Students completing a bachelor of arts degree will need to complete three of the following courses. One course will need to be a history course, the second will need to be a literature course, and the third will need to be a Philosophy course.

Students completing a bachelor of science, bachelor of science in engineering, or bachelor of social work degree need to complete only one (history, literature, or philosophy) course.
