26 BA Humanities Advisors: Marianina Olcott, Scot Guenter, Christian Jochim Designed for students who are interested in interdisciplinary studies, the humanities major features emphases in American studies, East Asian studies, and European studies. For each emphasis, the major requires a total of 39 units, of which 24 are interdisciplinary core course units in humanities and 15 are course units in related disciplines or areas. A special feature of the major is its flexibility. While the emphases represent coherent programs, they also offer considerable choice within the numerous area electives that allow students to develop individual programs of study to suit their own interests and needs. Devised to provide students with a liberal education through heightened awareness, broad knowledge and critical thinking, the humanities major prepares students for many professional programs and occupations such as law, librarianship, social work, communications, teaching and public service.
