Introduction
The Major Culture and History focuses on the academic study of the cultures and histories of people from around the world and across time. The Major has no temporal or geographic concentration. Instead, students sample an exciting range of topics while developing their ability to analyze all kinds of cultural objects, frame strong questions about cultural-historical problems, and produce coherent interpretive arguments – classic humanistic skills that remain relevant to individual reflection, academic research, and global public life. Culture and History’s interdisciplinary approach to the humanities combines history, philosophy, anthropology, and the study of art, music, and literature.
