To satisfy the Humanities area requirement, at least two-thirds of a course:
DH.1 uses the terminology of historical, philosophical, language, or religious studies;
DH.2 involves texts, artifacts, concepts, processes, theories, or issues of concern in these studies;
DH.3 demonstrates inquiry that involves the methods of study, reflection, evidence-gathering, and argumentation that are employed in these studies.
DH Hallmarks Explanatory Notes
The Humanities category covers a broad range of disciplines and styles of inquiry. Courses that study culture, history, or ethics by examining texts, documents, or film typically qualify for the DH designation.
Occasionally, overlaps can be problematic. A literature studies course, for example, may be DH, DL, or neither. Courses that study film as a representation of culture typically qualify as DH; courses that study film as text typically qualify as DL; courses in which film production and creation are goals typically qualify as DA.
