About
Humanities |
The
study of the humanities covers a broad range of ideas
and subjects drawn from philosophy, art, literature,
history, religion, science, and social and political
thought.
Through
an interdisciplinary approach to classical, medieval,
renaissance, and modern culture, the study of the humanities
raises critical questions about the achievements and
controversies associated with the human condition.
Students
are encouraged to examine the knowledge and ideas central
to the humanities and to integrate these concerns in
original and critical ways.
Courses
are available at the Burnaby Mountain, Surrey and Vancouver
- Harbour Centre campuses, and are offered both in the
day and evening.
