Humanities
Study in the Humanities Department at Merced College focuses on
analytical reasoning as well as a variety of creative modes of expression.
These modes may include writing, film making, theatrics, and the fine
arts. Humanities education involves the study of cultural manifestations
in all its varieties. It is the study of intellectual, cultural, and
aesthetic development through history with an integration of
multi-cultural influences.
The Humanities curriculum is designed around a core education that
includes the historical study of the humanities, and various other courses
in literature, philosophy, art, music, and foreign languages.
The Humanities Department is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. We
recognize that humanities and humanities education enhance the cultural,
economic, and social aspects of the community. The study of humanities
broadens world views and enhances the critical thinking skills applicable
to any area of endeavor. We also explore the deepest aspects of self,
community, and existence.
