Communications and Humanities building breeze way on a sunny afternoon

Humanities is the study of the artistic and intellectual expressions of various cultures. It includes music history, art history, drama, literature, religion, and philosophy. Humanities courses can be used to fulfill general education requirements for the Associate of Arts degree. Some courses fulfill the requirements for Associate of Science degrees.
