Academic flexibility is a hallmark of our program; no two paths through the major are the same, just as no two careers pursued with a humanities degree are alike. As a fully customizable program, the humanities major offers students an opportunity to combine the study of a language with a personalized path through the other humanities disciplines, including history, English, philosophy, the fine arts, language, law, communications, and theology. It can also include women’s studies, political science, black studies, and a host of other disciplines.
With subjects ranging from historic figures like John Calvin to perspectives on the American Enlightenment, the PC Humanities Forum underscores the College’s commitment to the humanities. The forum brings the campus community together to engage in intellectual life outside the class, deepen an appreciation for the humanities, and explore diverse perspectives through lectures, film screenings, musical performances, or even intimate group dinner discussions.
