Ammerman /100
The Humanities curriculum is designed to provide students with a rigorous introduction to the Humanities as preparation for a variety of professions such as teaching, writing, law, film and communications. The curriculum attempts to balance the need for a broad background with an opportunity for an early experience in a particular branch of learning to foster greater depth of understanding. Opportunities to explore specialized areas are offered as options in cinema studies, communications, English, foreign language and philosophy. Each option provides students with a solid background for transfer to baccalaureate programs in a chosen field.

Admission Procedures and Requirements
Entering students should have an 80 or above high school average. Students already enrolled in college should demonstrate a minimum 3.0 GPA and can be admitted fall or spring. Students who do not meet the admission criteria may be admitted on a provisional basis.
