Text and Tradition
Text and Tradition explores the classical texts and intellectual
traditions upon which Western culture has been built--from Greek thought as
embodied in Plato
and Sophocles, to the insights and perspectives of Darwin, Marx, and the modern
novel. The goal of this program is to provide a concise grounding in the humanities,
both in subject matter and in methods of inquiry. In Text and Tradition, by
completing five courses, students complete a minor in the humanities. Text
and Tradition
also serves as an entry point for ambitious students who seek to major in the
humanities through the Interdisciplinary Project in the Humanities. Each course
in Text and Tradition meets an Arts and Sciences distribution requirement. <More>
