The Humanities
The Humanities at SCF provide the foundation for any complete liberal arts education and include courses in the disciplines of Art History, Interdisciplinary Humanities, Philosophy, and Religion. “HUM 1020 – Introduction to the Humanities” introduces students to the interdisciplinary study of the Humanities, while courses such as “ARH 2000 – Art Appreciation,” “PHI 2010 – Introduction to Philosophical Reasoning,” and “REL 2300 – Introduction to World Religions” provide students with an introduction to the topics and ideas in each of these foundational Humanistic disciplines. All Humanities courses can be applied to the Associate of Arts degree and a detailed Degree Pathway will prepare students to transfer to the university of their choice or for a university degree in any of the Humanities disciplines.
