Humanities, Social Sciences, and CommunicationCore Curriculum

Core Curriculum

The Humanities Core Curriculum provides a comprehensive, interactive engagement with literature, history, philosophy, and the arts. LTU’s Humanities Core is designed to help you unleash your curiosity, providing you the chance to engage some of the fundamental questions and enduring ideas of intellectual life through shared readings, lively discussions with faculty and fellow students, collaborative presentations, and problem-solving teamwork. From their very first year, students engage some of the most provocative, challenging, and exciting humanistic works of the past in the two-course “Engaging Texts” sequence, allowing them to cultivate their curiosity, imagination, and intellectual breadth. Building on this experience, students take a series of 2000-level elective courses—one in Language and Literature, the other in the Social Sciences that offer them the chance to explore culture, society, history, the arts, technology, and ideas, from introductory to advanced study. Finally, students conclude the humanities core with a 3000/4000-level Jr/Sr elective.

To help you navigate the core, our Fall 24 offerings are listed below.
