Mission & Learning Outcomes The Departments of English, History and Philosophy offer an interdepartmental major in humanities. It consists of a concentration of 18-20 credits in one area and two support areas of six upper-division credits each. The area of concentration is basically an emphasis in the desired field but offers more flexibility.
