Humanities

The Humanities program is designed to provide an opportunity for study in several areas of Western civilization. The Humanities major is broadbased, allowing students to take courses in several fields -- including literature and philosophy; the history of art, music, or drama; languages; and the all-inclusive humanities courses. The relationship of Western ideas and thought between the various fields of study is encouraged. Courses will also strengthen oral and written communications skills.

Degree
The A.A. degree in Humanities covers courses in English literature, French, German, Humanities, Philosophy, Religion, Russian, Spanish and Speech.

Career Opportunities
A degree in Humanities will provide training in the qualities of critical and analytical thinking and oral and written expression, which are important in a wide range of careers in business, government, or industry. Many companies prefer to train employees for specific careers and are looking for bright people. As with most college degrees, a degree in Humanities is evidence of attributes for which most employers are looking.

Four Year College Transfer
Some colleges offer an interdisciplinary humanities major, and most colleges offer specific majors in most subjects covered under humanities. Students should complete specific lower division classes at Lake Tahoe Community College. Also, students should review general education requirements at four year colleges.
