About the Area of Study
Programs in the Humanities refer to interdisciplinary study including, but not limited to, language both modern and classical, linguistics, literature, history, jurisprudence, philosophy, archaeology, comparative religion, ethics, history/criticism/theory of the arts, and aspects of the sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods. If you want to pursue a bachelor's degree in Humanities, you may complete your first two years of college courses at Lake Michigan College. All Humanities courses are transferable to other institutions in Michigan and elsewhere.

Courses listed under Art, Communication, English, Foreign Languages, History, Humanities, Music, Philosophy, and Theatre with transferable Humanities credits may be taken as electives for a Humanities concentration. Competency in a foreign language is not a degree requirement at Lake Michigan College; however, Humanities majors are urged strongly to complete at least two semesters of French, German, or Spanish. As a Humanities major, you should seek a broad-based education through careful selection of courses under general electives. Consult the faculty advisor for specific guidance.
