The
Humanities Program at Morrisville State College has
a dual mission. It provides required and elective courses
for its majors. In addition, it offers a wide variety
of courses for students in programs all across campus.
Humanities offerings include courses in Art, Communication,
English, Education, Foreign Language, Humanities, Music,
and Philosophy.
Humanities
courses differ from courses in other disciplines in
that they take into special consideration the human
experience in a variety of situations. Students are
encouraged to ask questions about a subject in order
to probe its relevance and to look for answers to questions
by using a variety of techniques, which include, but
are not limited to, logical reasoning, interpretation,
and analysis.
