The degree programs in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences are designed to introduce students to both the breadth and depth of the university’s curriculum. This is accomplished by combining a wide distribution of courses with the opportunity to concentrate on course work in depth in a selected field. To achieve the first goal, students are required to take a wide range of lower-division courses that deal with the diversity of human knowledge. In the upper-division curriculum, students are relatively free to concentrate in depth in their major field of interest.
