ENGL1200 Introduction to Humanities
This course explores topics of art, music, writing/literature, drama, philosophy, religion, and even culinary arts as well as other modes of human creation/expression to help students to consider what it means to be human based on common themes (and differences), including themes of love, war, freedom, death, myth, etc. Visual and written works and experience will help students examine these themes across cultures and history. Students will also develop skills to understand their own and others’ positions and to see the ways in which they are a part of the human story.
