The minor in the humanities exposes undergraduate students to diverse examples of human thought and culture and to the interdisciplinary methods and theories used in humanities scholarship. The minor is rooted in the idea that the opportunity to study an assortment of humanities topics from a wide range of perspectives provides an excellent complement to more closely focused coursework undertaken in any major, inside or outside the humanities.

Humanities minors get priority in registering for HUM classes during pre-registration periods.
