Our students explore the interconnectedness of history, art, philosophy, and literature. By understanding the complexities of foreign cultures and historical eras, you'll become equipped to contribute to an increasingly interdisciplinary world. This program offers the ability to choose two subfields to investigate in greater depth: history and global cultures; the visual and performing arts; philosophy and religious studies; and literature and writing.
