Humanities (AA) Colorado Mesa University

Program Description

The Humanities refer to disciplines that focus on the human condition, including the social and cultural relationships we form with others. In contrast to math and the natural sciences, which privilege empirical and quantitative methods to study society and the natural world, the humanities tend to use analytical, qualitative, and narrative approaches to understand our social, cultural, and personal contexts. After completing Essential Learning requirements, students will choose courses that help them explore how we understand and express ourselves, from Art, Dance, English, Graphic Arts, and Foreign Languages, to Literature, Mass Communication, Music, Philosophy, Speech, and Theater. The Associate of Arts (AA) degree can be a terminal degree or serve as a pathway to a baccalaureate degree in the humanities.
