Bachelor's Degree in Humanities
B.A. in humanities
The College of Arts and Sciences interdisciplinary majors provide options for those who have not chosen a specialized major. They offer opportunities to create individual fields of emphasis for those who want to pursue multidisciplinary solutions to the world’s complex problems.
One option is humanities, a multidisciplinary major that explores human thought and culture, enabling better understanding and promoting of existing and new traditions. Creativity, imagination and interpretation are each central to humanistic study.
The K-State difference
Students in the humanities multidisciplinary program work closely with a College of Arts and Sciences advisor to develop a plan of study with a thematic emphasis. Employers have a growing recognition that individuals who are broadly trained, have cultural knowledge, think well and analyze logically, and express themselves clearly and persuasively are highly desirable employees.
Because our students are given these tools, as well as an academic focus, they are often readily accepted in graduate and professional programs.
