Welcome to the Humanities Discipline! Pop Quiz! The term "Humanities" refers to: A. Those academic disciplines concerned with art and culture, such as French, Art History, German, Speech Communication, English, Philosophy, Dance, Spanish, Theatre, or Studio Art, which study the human condition using methods that are largely analytic, critical, or speculative. There's a reason the Minnesota Humanities Center has "*think" in its URL! B. An administrative office at UMM that oversees the activities of faculty and students teaching or studying the disciplines mentioned above. C. A collection of courses for folks who just can't get enough of the Humanities... or want to take a course in French cinema without having to know or major in French! D. All of the above. At UMM, we've put together a group of courses known as the Humanities Discipline, providing students with an opportunity to explore these thought-provoking areas no matter what their major. Love movies? Maybe you'd like to study German, French, Italian or Hispanic cinema in a class taught in English. Want to explore the literature of Russia, India, or the Orient? Wondering where you can find a course in Norse mythology, the history of Morocco, the American West, or the King James Bible? The Humanities Discipline is the answer! The answer to the pop quiz is D, "All of the above." Click here if you think* you'd like to learn more about course offerings in the Humanities Discipline.
