BA in Humanities
The Humanities are concerned with the study of the human condition, with what human beings think, do, and make. This study flows especially through art and culture, but also politics, philosophy, and theology. At JPCatholic, a Humanities major will not only study ideas, art, and culture using the great texts and great works of Western civilization as a foundation, but will enter into them actively, integrating the human powers of memory, imagination, and reason, and educating the emotions and passions.
We offer several emphases within our Humanities degree, giving students the chance to integrate this study into various artistic and academic pursuits:

Minors
A minor gives a student the ability to pursue a competency outside of their degree program without having to fulfill all of the degree requirements of a double-major. Students are also able to use their electives to pursue areas like this one, even if they are not formally pursuing all of the requirements for a minor.
