For Entrance into the Humanities program

The prerequisite for entry into the Humanities major is a grade of "C" or better in any Humanities course. 

Program Concentrations

Each Humanities major is comprised of a double concentration (18 credit hours each) in any two: English Literature, History, and Philosophy, plus the general requirements for all Providence University College Bachelor of Arts degree programs. 

• English Literature
  • Focus on various literary periods from classical to contemporary while also learning about women writers, gender issues and religious themes throughout literary history. Practice the process of writing and developing excellent analytical skills.
• History
  • Explore the past through the study of western civilization, the history of Christianity, Canada's history and women in history. Improve your writing skills by evaluating evidence and reconciling different perspectives of interpretations of the past.
• Philosophy
  • Think about life's big questions in a disciplined yet imaginative way while studying and engaging with the work of great historical thinkers. Learn to think clearly and critically as you examine the origins of important ideas that influence us today.
