Humanities Courses
Humanities offers a rotation of different topics each semester, reflecting the broad interests and expertise of the faculty. Our faculty are drawn from Anthropology, Classics, English, Geography and Environmental Studies, History, Languages and Cultures, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Visual and Performing Arts.
Each of the HUM courses fulfills the LAS core humanities requirement (3 credit hours) of the general humanities area requirement (9 credit hours), as well as satisfying the Navigate and upper-division Writing Intensive requirements in the campus-wide Compass Curriculum.
A Master's of Arts in Humanities is currently being developed at UCCS—stay tuned!
