COML 1100
FWS: Humanities Core Course

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Theme for 2023-24: Inheritance. Where Do We Come From? What and Where Are We? Where Are We Going? Posing these and other fundamental questions, all the more urgent in these uncertain times, the Humanities Core course engages first year students in the pleasure and challenge of humanistic inquiry across a range of disciplines. Through the study of literature, film, history, philosophy, popular culture, and visual art, students will probe how meaning is made and learn various forms of analysis to gain a greater understanding of human creativity and social relations. The course is not a survey, but a series of careful readings of keystone works around a different theme each year and an exploration of methods for analyzing the creation and contestation of meaning. The Humanities core course is a gateway to the humanities and a foundation for future learning.

When Offered Fall, Spring.
