Undergraduate Studies
Comparative Humanities facilitates the discovery, synthesis and application of ideas across disciplines. The department serves as an umbrella for collaborative efforts among the disciplines by offering a Bachelor of Arts (BA) program including interdisciplinary humanities courses that encourage students to examine texts, creative expression and ideas within a cultural context. Students also explore the implications of their studies by learning to shape their own perceptions, ideas and values.
The Department of Comparative Humanities main office is located in the Bingham Humanities Building in Room 303. If you have any questions about the Department of Comparative Humanities or our program offerings, feel free to drop by, or contact us at (502) 852-6805.
