Department of Humanities

 

The Department of Humanities provides study in the fields of communication, fine arts, literature, religion, western civilization and philosophy. The curriculum provides a broad-based approach which develops linkages between the humanities areas and the technological fields that have been the mission of School of Mines. Interdisciplinary Sciences degree candidates are required to complete twenty-four (24) semester hours of humanities and social sciences courses. Other science and engineering degree candidates are required to complete sixteen (16) semester hours of humanities and social sciences courses - at least six (6) credits in each area. Engineering majors are required to enroll in at least one upper-level humanities or social science course (of at least three (3) credit hours).

All IS degree candidates must complete ENGL 101, ENGL 279, ENGL 289, IS 201, IS 401, and IS 498, which cannot be used to meet the humanities and social sciences requirements.

Special Note: All Humanities and IS courses numbered 390, 391, 401, 491, 498, 690, and 691, as well as MUEN 330, will meet upper division graduation requirements only if there are three credit hours accumulated in one of the courses. English 394 will not meet the humanities upper division requirement, but will meet the upper division graduation requirement.

Our Mission:To raise awareness of the intellectual and creative heritage that drives contemporary civilization, enabling students to examine critically who they are, to recognize their responsibilities to the human community, and to perform as professionals and citizens.
